A night street procession moves along a road beneath a concrete overpass. Two men in white dhotis and white shirts carry large banners printed with a portrait of a man in orange robes with both arms raised, and Hindi-language text across the top. Behind them drummers in red garments play drums while a crowd of onlookers in mixed street clothes fills the road, with a white van and roadside stalls visible under sodium street lights.
