A large street procession moves down a crowded Indian town road lined with saffron and orange flags and pennants strung across the street. Many men in white dhotis and shirts walk in the crowd, some holding orange flags. Several people carry tall umbrellas in bright multicolour patterns. Handheld placards and banners show a bald-headed figure with a red-and-gold headdress and saffron tones, repeated many times; this is a printed depiction on signs, not a physical person. A police or uniformed contingent marches on the left. Blue and yellow buses and trucks line the right side, and a banner reads Head Quarters Ashram in English. An arch and shop signage appear overhead.
