A crowd of men in white dhotis with gold borders and orange-robed monks surrounds a decorated palanquin carried on poles, topped with multicoloured striped canopies and garlanded with orange and yellow flower strands. Behind it, orange and red ceremonial flags flutter beside a large yellow-framed banner. A speaker stack and a white van stand at the right, with a cameraman on top filming. Women in saris and salwar kameez watch at the left edge.
