A street procession on a sunny road with a golden ornate ratha or chariot-like palanquin at centre, its gold canopy draped with a red and gold cloth panel, a small framed portrait on the front, and a striped umbrella beside it. Devotees walk alongside holding up blank white placards on poles. Several people wear white clothing and white shawls, a woman in an orange sari walks at the right edge, and a man in a light cream shirt stands in the foreground. Buses and vehicles line the roadside.
