A street procession moves along a wide road lined with a median and kerb, with a golden decorated ratha (chariot) with red and yellow draping and garlands at the centre-right. Crowds of marchers in white dhotis and kurtas carry saffron and orange flags on poles, and uniformed police officers walk alongside. Motorcycles and vans share the road, and onlookers watch from the balconies of a pink multi-storey building with shop signs and a Vodafone advertisement. Palm trees and low buildings line the far side under a hazy sky.

A roadside procession moves along a wide divided highway in daylight. Dozens of people in white dhotis and white clothes walk alongside a decorated ratha, a golden-canopied chariot festooned with red and orange garlands and flowers, where a figure sits under the canopy. Many marchers carry saffron-orange flags on poles. Uniformed police officers in khaki walk beside the chariot. Beyond the road, a multi-storey pink building with shops, signboards and a Vodafone sign lines the street, and palm trees and vehicles fill the background.2009-02-05February 05 20092009-02-05A street procession on a wide divided road, with a long line of people in white clothing and many orange-saffron flags marching along the left side.

Many people in white clothes walk in a long line on the pavement, several carrying orange and saffron flags, with a red banner visible near the middle. Vehicles travel on the road: motorcycles, a yellow-bodied van, white trucks and a red-and-white lorry. Beside the road stand a pink multi-storey building with shuttered shops, roadside stalls and palm trees. Individual figures are too small and distant to identify, and no candidate is distinguishable, so a person's presence is uncertain.2009-02-05February 16 20092009-02-16 +1 copiesA wide elevated view looking down a multi-lane road during a procession.
