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.

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.2009-02-05Aerial view of a long pada yatra procession moving along a wide multi-lane road lined with traffic, cars, a bus, auto-rickshaws and trucks.
