A large street procession moves down a road lined with parked motorcycles, cars and pink-and-white shopfronts, with a thatched hut and palm trees behind. Many men in white dhotis and shirts walk closely together, while bare-chested drummers in orange-and-white cloths beat large drums and carry drum sticks. Two orange and gold banners on poles, one emblazoned with a crest, rise above the crowd. A woman in a green and yellow sari carries a brass pot with flowers near the front. The crowd is dense, with many more people visible in the background and at the sides.
