A street procession in India where two saffron-clad figures ride on a decorated ratha or palanquin-style vehicle under an ornate red and gold umbrella with fringed tassels. The seated figure on the left wears orange robes and has white hair, while the figure beside him wears a red-orange turban, orange robes and a beaded rudraksha mala with gold ornaments. The vehicle is heavily decorated with orange and yellow marigold garlands and white flower strings. A second red umbrella stands behind them, and a green banner with Kannada script spans the street. Spectators line the road, a man in the foreground smiles, and a small temple tower is visible at right.
