A wide street photograph taken from an upper-floor rooftop looking down on a dense procession in a town street. A man in white dhoti and shirt leans over the parapet on the left, holding a camera. Below, a large crowd of people, many dressed in white with saffron-orange flags and banners, fills the road between rows of stopped buses, yellow autorickshaws and small trucks. A decorated float or ratha with ornate golden canopy and deity imagery moves at the centre of the procession. Shops, flat-roofed houses, a blue building, a small temple gopuram at right, and hills in the background complete the scene. A large billboard with a portrait and multiple faces is visible at lower left, and a red flag hangs over the road.
