Aerial view of a dense street procession in an Indian town, with a crowd of many dozens of people moving along a road lined with red, yellow, blue and green umbrellas and bunting flags. Uniformed police officers in khaki stand along the route. At the centre, a large ornate palanquin or chariot covered in gold-coloured fabric is carried forward, with orange-clad figures walking near it and red flags held aloft. Multicoloured pennant strings hang across the street, and a small domed shrine structure stands at the right beside a decorated stage.
