A large street procession fills a wide tree-lined road with a dense crowd, mostly men in white shirts and dhotis, with some in light trousers and shirts. Several people in saffron-orange robes walk near the front-left, some with shaved heads. Colourful umbrellas in red, orange and blue are raised, and red-and-yellow Karnataka-style flags wave above the crowd. A decorated float or vehicle carries a banner and an ornate gold-trimmed structure near the centre, with banners and placards on sticks lining the route. Shops with signage line the left side of the street, and police officers in khaki uniforms are visible among the marchers.
