Street scene during a procession in a busy Indian town, with a golden decorated chariot or ratha on the right edge showing carved panels and a saffron-and-orange cloth with marigold garlands. A barefoot man in white shirt and white dhoti walks beside the ratha, one hand raised to his chest. Beside him a uniformed policeman in khaki with a peaked cap and belt walks in the road. Behind them men in white shirts stand near the procession, and a motorcyclist in white shirt sits on a motorbike with plate TN 28 AB 8986 in the foreground. Several people stand on the roadside and a white bus with destination board is in the background. Handheld banners on poles show a portrait of a saffron-robed man beneath printed text. Small saffron-robed figures appear on the banners, and a long printed notice is pasted along the ratha's side.
