Aerial view of a dense street procession in an Indian town. At the centre, a decorated palanquin or ratha carries a golden-canopied deity murti garlanded with flowers, followed by a crowd beneath many colourful umbrellas in red, yellow, green, blue and purple. Men in saffron and orange clothing and white dhotis carry red flags and play drums, while uniformed police officers line the street. Bunting strung between buildings and a small shrine with a kalasha and red-and-gold canopy appear at the right. Crowds of onlookers fill the roadside and balconies.
