A street procession moves along a road lined with low buildings, shops and utility poles under a partly cloudy sky. Dozens of men in white dhotis and white shirts, many wearing saffron-orange shawls and rudraksha malas, walk in a dense group, some playing hand drums. Orange flags and decorated ornamental umbrellas or float-like frames are carried above the crowd. A blue truck and a yellow auto-rickshaw sit at the roadside, and a uniformed police officer stands at the left edge. No figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so the scene is described by roles.
