A street procession moves across a paved road in daylight, viewed from above. Many devotees wear white dhotis and white shirts or kurtas with orange saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. Several women in white saris, some with orange shawls, carry shallow brass-coloured trays on their heads, one holding flower petals or fruit and another a tray of red offerings. A bicycle rider and a man with a camera move among them, and a traffic policeman in khaki stands near an auto-rickshaw at the top right. Bystanders in casual clothes and cyclists are scattered along the road edges, with overhead power lines strung across the scene.
