A procession of devotees moves down a paved street in front of a white building with ornate balconies. At the centre, a man in saffron robes walks beneath a large multicoloured ceremonial umbrella with fringed edges, held aloft on a pole, with a golden kalasha-like finial. Around him, many people in white kurtas and dresses wear red and white garlands, and several women wear saffron shawls. Some carry trays or bundles, and flagged banners on poles are carried nearby. A silver tourist coach labelled Pariwisata stands at the right, and a few onlookers in casual clothes watch from the roadside.
