A dense crowd moves along a narrow market lane in Varanasi, lined with shopfronts and hanging stalls under yellow canvas awnings. In the centre, a person in a bright orange robe with a long orange-beaded mala walks with head bowed, flanked by devotees in white kurtas and white caps and women in saffron, yellow and pink saris and shawls. A cameraman with a shoulder video camera in a purple shirt films the procession beside them. Hanging signs and a red-and-yellow shop board are visible overhead.
