A dense street procession moves along a busy road lined with shops and signboards. Bare-chested drummers in orange and saffron dhotis beat large barrel drums, while a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis surrounds them. A black SUV is in the middle of the procession, and a red and gold ceremonial umbrella is held aloft behind it. Uniformed police officers in khaki and red-turbaned attendants stand among the crowd. A large orange floral garland-style banner hangs on the left, and a red flag is visible at the edge.
