A street procession in an Indian town shows a decorated ratha palanquin draped with marigold and orange garlands, a gold canopy and red-and-gold tassels. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha-style garland stands on the cart beside a red-clad attendant, while a man in white dhoti and shawl with a garland stands at the right edge, both handling offerings on a golden tray. A red flag with a saffron emblem flies at right, and a crowd of devotees raises hands and phones to photograph the scene. Shopfronts and a painted hoarding with Hindi/Marathi lettering line the street.
