Aerial view of a large procession moving down a street between two big grey metal drums or rounded barriers at the top corners. Many devotees walk in a dense crowd wearing white dhotis and shawls, with saffron-orange and red garments among them. Numerous red flags are raised above the crowd, and a yellow and gold umbrella is held aloft near the top. On the left, a yellow metal crowd barrier lines the route, and some people in white and red stand at its edge. Several women wear orange and red sarees with bead necklaces. Many participants have white cloth tied across their eyes or foreheads, and some carry small items in their hands. The scene is a ritual march in an outdoor urban street.
