A large street procession moves through a crowded road lined with trees and spectators. At the centre, a gilded ornate palanquin with a golden canopy and garlands carries a seated figure in orange and red clothing, with a rudraksha-style garland. Two bearers in orange stand on the palanquin. Walking alongside are many men in white dhotis with rudraksha malas and sacred thread, and women in white saris with garlands. Red flags with a saffron emblem and a large green umbrella-style canopy are carried through the crowd. Onlookers watch from the roadside and a wall. A tall pole with a loudspeaker appears at right.
