Elevated view of a crowded city street during a procession. A large decorated ratha or chariot with a white canopy and orange and blue umbrellas is pulled through the street, its deity figures and garlands visible at the front. Many people walk in dense crowds on both sides, with many red and orange flags raised and some men in white and saffron-coloured clothing. Police officers in khaki uniforms stand along metal barricades at the right. Shops, multi-storey buildings and a red-brick structure line the street, with a large signboard reading Bhargava Complex. A hanging banner shows a portrait of a figure in ceremonial dress, but it is a printed image and not a physical person.
