Outdoor procession on a flatbed vehicle with a metal railing under a clear blue sky. Two people in pink-and-magenta robes with marigold garlands and maroon turbans sit at the front with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and saffron-orange sashes stand and hold tall red flags on poles. A man in a teal shirt and dark trousers leans at the right edge. Tall red banners flutter, and a large red flag at right shows a portrait printed in white and yellow. Utility poles, trees and a row of colourful tents line the roadside.
