Dense street crowd of mostly men pressing around a vehicle decorated with marigold garlands, green leaves and a red-and-orange fringed canopy. A large portrait in a framed panel on the vehicle shows a bearded, saffron-clothed figure, labelled in print. In front, a man in an orange turban and saffron robe stands among devotees; others wear white shirts and dhotis, and one wears a yellow printed cloth. A man with a video camera films from the upper left, and a uniformed officer in a khaki hat stands at right. Overcast daylight, buildings behind.
