Outdoor street procession on a busy road in daylight. Musicians in white dhotis and shirts play long wind instruments and drums, leading a crowd of devotees in white, red and saffron clothing. Two colourful umbrellas with striped panels are held aloft over the procession, and many saffron flags are raised. Behind them a golden-draped ratha or float is visible at the right edge. A man in a red shirt plays a horn, and a police officer in khaki stands at the left near a green state bus. A large framed portrait is carried on a white placard, and an orange-robed sannyasi walks at the lower right. Green buses and roadside buildings line the street.
