A street procession in daylight with a large crowd lining the road. Drummers in orange and yellow patterned tunics with orange turbans and orange sashes carry large drums. A bearer holds a red flag printed with a portrait of a bearded man with a saffron head covering. Men in white kurtas and dhotis, some in pink shirts, walk among the drummers. Spectators behind barriers, many women in colourful saris and headscarves, watch and some raise their hands in greeting. The white tent-like pole and sunlit street suggest a festival or ratha-style parade.
