A street procession moves through a crowded town lane. Two large decorated palanquin-style structures carry tall ornate figures draped in red, gold and white cloth, with a golden canopy and garlands on the lead carrier. Dense crowds of men in white dhotis and shirts fill the road, many with raised hands, and orange-and-white bunting lines the route. Multi-storey brick and painted buildings line both sides, with people standing on rooftops and a balcony. Shop signboards and banners hang above the street, including a green-and-white sign. No individual can be clearly identified as the a person candidate amid the crowd.
