Street procession in a crowded Indian town under bright daylight. In the foreground at left, a shaved-headed man wears an orange-saffron garment and a rudraksha-style necklace beside a red-and-white canopy edge. Uniformed police in khaki with red turbans and red-banded caps hold back the crowd and gesture with outstretched arms. Many men in white dhotis and white shirts press along the road, some with raised hands. Festive orange and green streamers hang overhead, and a dark car sits at the bottom edge. Shops, a blue van and roadside stalls line the street.
