Outdoor street procession in bright daylight. A decorated palanquin or ratha with a golden canopy, marigold garlands and a red-and-gold throne-like seat is carried through the street. A man in white dhoti with bare upper body stands on the palanquin near a kalasha-style ornament, and a bald man in a saffron-orange dhoti with rudraksha mala and ceremonial beads stands beside it. Many people line the road in orange, white and yellow robes, holding orange flags on poles, and a uniformed police officer in khaki stands in the crowd. Blue and orange umbrellas, bunting and a yellow umbrella add colour. A camera-holding woman in a yellow garment is in the foreground. A few people appear; the total visible is in the range of 21-100.
