A large street procession moves through a crowded town road under a bright sky. At the centre, a decorated palanquin with a golden canopy and orange and yellow umbrellas carries figures in saffron and orange robes, with garlands of marigolds hanging from the frame. Men in white dhotis walk alongside, and a flatbed vehicle with a red chassis follows behind. Red and yellow flags wave above the crowd. Uniformed police line the road, and dense crowds of devotees on both sides raise phones to photograph. Shops, shuttered storefronts, parked motorcycles and multi-storey buildings line the street, and a golden decorated vehicle appears at the far left.
