A street procession in a crowded Indian market town. A decorated ratha-style vehicle with a marigold-garlanded canopy and red-and-white festoons leads, with red flags on poles. Seated on the float, a man in a white dhoti and white garment wears a garland and sits beside women in saffron and orange saris. Many devotees in orange and white crowd around the float, and a tractor with a red body follows at right. Onlookers line the street, some photographing from motorbikes and balconies. Shops, parked motorcycles and a large banner with a portrait sit above the scene. Yellow barricades separate the crowd from the procession.
