A street procession moves along a paved road lined with trees and utility poles. Many men and some women in white dhotis and white kurtas wear orange sashes over their shoulders. Several people carry tall poles topped with ornate multicolored umbrellas in green, orange and red with blue crescent-and-circle motifs, and square embroidered banners hang beside them. A large saffron flag is held aloft at left, and a drummer in a light checked shirt beats a drum at lower centre. Bystanders in casual clothes watch from the roadside, and a bus and vehicles appear in the background.
