A dense outdoor procession moves along a tree-lined road as a large crowd of devotees surrounds a row of ornately patterned umbrellas in red, pink, green, yellow and maroon. Many tall red and orange flags on poles rise above the crowd. Men in white dhotis and women in red and orange saris with gold necklaces walk among the umbrellas, and several bald men wear orange garments. On the left, a large painted banner shows a portrait of a bald-headed man, and a red-and-orange flag hangs beside it. Utility poles and wires stand against a bright sky.
