A long line of devotees walks along a town street in a procession, most men in white dhotis and shirts and women in white saris, many wearing orange shawls or sashes. Several people in the front carry a bundled white cloth or item on their heads. Behind them a yellow auto-rickshaw and motorbikes wait at the roadside, while a man on a bicycle pulls a large cylindrical drum or cask wrapped in rope on the left. Shops, a white multi-storey building with a bank sign, and a hill with a rocky ridge line the background.
