A street procession in an Indian town with a large crowd pressing forward on both sides. At center, a golden canopy umbrella tops a decorated palanquin or ratha carried by men in white dhotis and bare upper bodies, with garlands of orange and yellow flowers hanging from it. Several men in white and saffron-coloured clothing stand around the platform, some raising arms in devotion. Red and orange flags line the street, and a crowd of devotees, many in white shirts and caps, raise hands and phones toward the procession. A yellow sign in the corner reads Shri Ram Niwas and Yatri AC and Non AC, with a blue building behind.
