Red and saffron flags on tall poles mark the procession, and a line of decorated umbrellas in orange, yellow, blue and red sits above the marchers. Behind them a golden ornate palanquin with a canopy and a golden float with red banners move through the crowd. Shopfronts, parked cars, motorcycles and multi-storey buildings line the street, and overhead wires cross the scene.
