Street procession in a crowded Indian town. A red tractor pulls a decorated float with a golden canopy and red flags, carrying figures in white and saffron at its centre. Police officers in khaki uniforms line the road holding back a large crowd of devotees in colourful saris and kurtas, many on balconies and at shop fronts. Motorbikes and parked scooters crowd the roadside under a tangle of overhead wires. Signboards for Hotel Jain Palace, Reliance and a Star store decorate the buildings.
