A dense outdoor street procession in India, with many people walking under multicoloured umbrellas: a bright red one, an orange one, and a rainbow-striped canopy of red, yellow, green and blue. Most participants wear saffron and orange robes and orange headcloths, while others wear white shirts and trousers. A police officer in khaki uniform and a helmeted policeman stand at the left edge. A handheld sign carries Kannada script reading roughly 'Sadhugalu' (saints). Shop signage above includes Sri Chamundi Ceramics. Several shaved-headed sannyasis walk in the centre among the crowd, and a figure in white with a white turban stands nearby. No single individual is clearly identifiable as a specific person from appearance alone, so the a person field is unsure.
