A crowded street procession in daylight, with a dark grey minivan at left and a white van behind it. A bald man in an orange-saffron cloth and a long rudraksha mala stands near the vehicle's door, his hands reaching toward the crowd. Beside him, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti wears a rudraksha mala and raises a fist. Men and women in white and colourful saris press along both sides of the road, with a uniformed police officer in khaki near the back. Shops, a flowering tree and utility poles line the street.
