A dense street procession in a crowded Indian market lane lined with shop fronts and signboards. Many people in white kurtas, sadhu-style saffron and orange robes, and uniformed police in khaki move alongside a large group carrying umbrellas in yellow, orange, blue, maroon and red, and red-and-white flags. Onlookers press along the sides, some in turbans and headscarves. A decorated palanquin or ratha with pink and gold draping and flower petals is visible at lower right. No individual can be identified as a person from appearance here, so the a person field is unsure.
