A dense outdoor procession of many devotees and onlookers moves through a crowded street lined with palm trees. Several colourful striped umbrellas with yellow, blue and red panels and gold fringe are carried overhead. Men in white kurtas and dhotis walk alongside, while others wear orange saffron shawls and sashes. Brass band musicians in red uniforms with tall gold-trimmed caps play trumpets and drums in the foreground. Orange and saffron flags flank the route. A figure in an orange garment with a long dark wrap stands near the centre of the crowd, possibly at the heart of the procession, with a hand raised.
