A street procession moves through a town road in India. A decorated vehicle at the centre is covered with yellow and pink flower garlands and a large floral wreath, and is followed by many people dressed in white traditional clothes. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk alongside, while women in colourful saris and a man in a white shirt stand along the roadside. Motorbikes, a red bus and a silver SUV share the road, and electric cables cross overhead. The scene appears to be a funeral-style procession with a floral-covered vehicle.
