A large street procession in a crowded Indian town seen from above. A decorated ratha with a white-and-gold canopy and marigold garlands leads the procession, carrying a deity murti under a fringed white umbrella. Many colourful umbrellas in pink, orange, blue, yellow and green are held aloft over the procession, alongside many red flags. Dense crowds line the street and police in khaki uniforms keep order. Strings of multicolored bunting hang across the street above shops and buildings. A water tanker truck and motorcycles are visible on the right. The scene reads as a festival procession with a deity ratha.
