A dense street procession moves through a crowded town lane lined with shops, colourful bunting and white buildings with a domed mosque in the background. A decorated ratha or palanquin carries a golden deity murti with red and pink floral garlands, followed by red flags and saffron-clad participants. Many devotees in white and mixed clothing line the road and crowd the foreground, some seated on yellow barricades. Umbrellas in red, white and multicolour shade roadside vendors. Several people stand on the cart and in the crowd, but individual figures are small and cannot be clearly identified, so no a person candidate is confirmed.
