A street procession in daytime moves along a tree-lined road past a multi-storey building. Many marchers carry red flags with a yellow-and-white emblem, and some carry saffron and orange umbrellas. Uniformed police in khaki and dark blue caps line the route, and a few men wear white dhotis and kurtas. Pedestrians and onlookers crowd the pavement, and a yellow-roofed vehicle is visible in the background under a bright sky.
