A street procession moves along a road lined with low buildings and trees. Many devotees in white dhotis and white shirts wear orange shawls over their shoulders, and some carry orange flags on tall poles. Several large colourful umbrellas with decorative borders are carried above the crowd, along with rhythmic drums played by men in white. A policeman in khaki uniform walks in front of the procession, and a yellow bus stands at the left edge. A woman in white with a green folder walks at the lower right. A figure in saffron-orange clothing appears near the centre of the procession, with a long, swept-back hairstyle, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity. The crowd is dense, with many people visible in the background.
