Aerial view of a dense street procession in an Indian town, with a long crowd of people walking under a canopy of colourful umbrellas in red, yellow, green, blue and pink. Several decorated ratha-style carts or palanquins with red and gold fabric move through the middle of the street. Tall flags flutter above the crowd, and multi-storey buildings, bare and leafy trees line the roadside. Many people in white and light clothing fill the street, some standing on the rooftops and balconies of nearby buildings.
