A street procession moves through a crowd, led by a bearded man in an orange-red turban and orange dhoti, wearing a heavy gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads, with a white floral garland. Many colourful decorative umbrellas (chhatris) are raised in pink, purple, yellow, orange, green and teal, with sequined fringes and silver finials. Devotees in white, orange and blue clothing walk close together, some bare-chested, and children watch from the front. A cameraman with a shoulder camera films the scene, and trees and a tall building stand behind.
