A street procession moves through a crowded Indian town road lined with shops, signboards and multi-storey buildings. Two open ratha-style floats lead the parade, one with an ornate gold-trimmed canopy of orange and yellow over a deity murti, and another with a decorated shrine behind it; both sit on red draped platforms garlanded with flowers. Orange-vested volunteers walk alongside and a man in white kurta and orange scarf stands on a float. A man with red-painted face and a red turban holds a red flag, and a banner shows a portrait with the printed name a person. Many pedestrians and onlookers fill the street, with several colourful umbrellas and red flags.
