A concrete bridge spans a shallow river, with grassy banks and several dark goats grazing in the water beneath its pillars. On the bridge deck a procession moves along the railing: a decorated wooden ratha or palanquin-style chariot stands at right, draped with red and orange cloth, garlands, and flags, with a figure in red and gold seated within it. A large framed portrait is carried among the marchers, and saffron-clad participants walk beside parked white vans and a yellow bus. Palm trees line the far bank under a pale sky.

Its piers stand in the water and their reflections are visible. Several buses, a truck and cars are queued on the deck, with a white truck carrying an orange flag near the centre. Palm trees and roadside trees line the far bank under a hazy sky, and a tall lattice telecom tower rises in the background. Three or four people wade in the shallows at the lower right, partly obscured by the piers.2009-01-30January 12 20092009-01-12January 12 20092009-01-12A procession crosses a long arched stone bridge over a dry riverbed overgrown with green shrubs and trees.
