A dusty unpaved road crowded with pilgrims and traffic, with a steel railway or road bridge on pillars across the hazy background. Many people walk on both sides, some on bicycles and motorcycles, with a rickshaw and a white van in the middle of the road. Several women wear saris in orange and red, and men wear shirts, jackets and shawls. Tents, flags and a large red-and-white banner stand at right, and a small orange saffron flag flutters from a pole. A brown-and-yellow tarpaulin-covered cart sits at left. Hazy winter air and muddy puddles fill the scene.
