A dense street procession on a crowded town road, with a large decorated ratha (chariot) under a canopy of marigold and green garlands at upper left. Colourful umbrellas with red, yellow and blue panels and fringed edges stand in the foreground. Many men in white dhotis and shirts walk closely together; several play long brass horns and trumpets, and others carry drums and staffs. A few men in orange and saffron cloths move among them. Shopfronts, banners and a blue dome line the street behind, and a strip of blue and white bunting hangs overhead. a person is not clearly identifiable among the marchers, so no candidate is confirmed.
