A dense street procession moves between white multi-storey buildings and older pale-walled shops. Devotees in white shirts and orange-saffron shawls carry large brass trays heaped with pale oblong sweets or fried snacks on their heads. Men and women walk shoulder to shoulder; several wear rudraksha malas and one man in front wears spectacles. A signboard on the left reads Telecoms (24 Hrs) and ISD PCO. Behind the crowd, a white van is visible in the road, with more people following down the street.
