A street procession in a crowded Indian town. In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe and a long white flower garland with red and orange blooms, plus a gold bead necklace, walks with hands folded at his waist; a red headband sits on his head. Beside him, a bare-chested priest with a grey beard and white forehead marks wears a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala, arms crossed. Other men in white dhotis, orange cloths and bare torsos walk among the crowd, with police uniforms and onlookers behind, and shopfronts and a red shutter line the street.
