A dense outdoor procession crowd moves along a dusty road past a decorated ratha or chariot. Most participants wear white garments, and several men wear orange or saffron shawls. A man in front holds a large camera and wears an orange stole over a cream jacket. Raised hands clap and wave among the crowd. Above the crowd, ornate umbrella-like canopies with orange and red panels and tassels shade a white-decorated float, with colourful balloons nearby. Orange flags fly against a clear sky, and a low building with white-clothed figures stands behind.
