A street procession moves along a road lined with poles and distant trees. Many people in white dhotis and white saris, some with red or maroon shawls and gold-edged cloth, walk in a crowd, several carrying brass and gold kalasha pots on their heads and metal trays. Orange-robed sadhus walk among them. Saffron and red flags on poles rise above the crowd, and a decorated palanquin or ratha with a small deity murti sits in the middle. Colourful umbrellas shade the procession, and spectators stand along the left edge.
