Outdoor street procession at a Kumbh Mela-type gathering, with a dense crowd lining metal barricades under bright sun. A large decorated float or palanquin is covered in green banana leaves and garlands, with saffron-robed figures seated on it. In the foreground a man in a khaki uniform stands near a rifle, and a person in a brown wrap holds a red flag. Red and saffron flags, orange banners, tents and trees fill the background. A printed banner on a stand reads a Hindi-script slogan, and a portrait is displayed on a pole near the procession route.
