A street procession moves along a busy road past a multistorey building and palm trees. At the centre, a gilded, ornately carved ratha chariot draped with marigold garlands and red-and-yellow floral strings carries a deity murti seated within it. Beside the ratha, a man in a crisp white dhoti and shirt walks near the vehicle, and a uniformed police officer in khaki walks alongside. Crowds of white-clad men and uniformed officers follow behind carrying red flags, while motorcycles, bicycles, auto-rickshaws and pedestrians fill the road. Two people watch from a balcony above. Painted boards along the chariot's side carry printed text.
