A large procession moves along a barricaded street lined with dense crowds at an outdoor religious fair. Robed participants in white dhotis and orange or saffron cloth walk behind red flags and a green umbrella, with a golden deity palanquin visible at the top left. Many bystanders stand packed along yellow metal barriers under tents, banners and signboards. Some figures in the procession wear rudraksha malas and marigold-like garlands. No individual a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so only the procession and crowd are described.
