A street procession moves through a crowded urban road lined with spectators pressing against golden metal barricades. Many umbrellas in orange, red, purple and gold with beaded fringes are carried above white-robed participants, some bare-chested with sacred threads, walking among red and orange flags. A decorated palanquin or float with a framed portrait and garlands is visible in the background. Dozens of onlookers in white shirts, caps and saris film and raise their hands along the barrier, while vehicles and banners line the route.
