A tall ornate canopy with white and red scalloped trim sits on a red tractor-drawn float, and a deity figure stands under it draped in orange and green garlands. Men in white shirts and dhotis and a woman in a red and pink sari line the road, and a yellow auto-rickshaw and white vehicles are nearby. Multi-storey pale buildings with balconies frame the scene, and strings of flags hang from the walls on the right.
