A street procession in a crowded Indian town. Central focus is an ornate gold-painted palanquin with carved pillars and a pointed canopy, carried by men in white, with a deity murti and garlands visible inside. A dense crowd of men and women in light and coloured clothes presses along the road. Handheld portrait banners showing a bearded man in a red-and-white turban are held up on the left and right. White flags hang from a building on the right, and a bus stands at the left edge.

A man in white sits on the chariot raising his arm toward the crowd, while another man in white stands at its side. Bunting of white flags with a blue emblem stretches overhead, and a gopuram-style temple tower rises behind the procession, with a bus and roadside shops at left. Red flags are carried in the crowd.
