Outdoor street procession in a crowded Indian town. Men and women in white dhotis, saris and kurtas walk among dense onlookers under a strip of yellow and green pennant bunting. A decorated float wrapped in marigold garlands carries a covered platform, and several colourful umbrellas with gold finials and fringed edges shade the procession. A bearer in an orange-and-white cloth holds a long silver staff, and a man wearing a rudraksha-style mala and white clothing stands among the crowd. Shopfronts with painted signs line the street behind.
