Photograph of a dense street crowd surrounding a dark car on a tree-lined road, with many men in white shirts and dhotis and some women in saris pressing forward, many raising hands and arms. A red and multicoloured umbrella with tasselled fringe is held overhead, and orange-and-yellow ceremonial standards stand at the left edge. Several people hold cameras and phones. Shop awnings and signboards line the street behind the crowd, and a few onlookers watch from a roadside. The scene suggests a procession welcoming someone seated inside the vehicle, though that person is not clearly visible. Crowd count is large, well over one hundred visible people.
