Aerial view of a street procession through a Karnataka town, with two decorated ratha-style palanquins under umbrellas. The foreground carriage is draped in white cloth and garlanded with yellow and red marigold strings, carried by men in white dhotis and orange shawls. Behind it, a blue canopied carriage holds a seated figure in orange robes, the appearance of which is consistent with a person seated in procession, wearing an orange robe and ornate ceremonial adornments. Multi-coloured umbrellas with gold motifs shelter the carriages. Crowds line both sides of the narrow street, with devotees in white and orange, and flags strung across the buildings above.
