A procession passes beneath a concrete overpass, viewed from low angle. Two men ride camels, each holding a tall, cylindrical colourful ornamental staff decorated with floral and geometric patterns in red, green, blue and yellow. The riders wear white dhoti clothing with red trim and are bare-chested. Smaller decorated umbrellas on poles, with yellow and red panels, are carried by men in white dhotis walking below. Spectators line the bridge railing above, and banners hang from the upper structure.
