Aerial view of a street procession in an Indian town. A decorated palanquin-style float with a white canopy sits at the centre, surrounded by many people holding large colourful parasols in red, yellow, blue, green, pink and orange. Men in white kurta-style clothes and red and saffron sashes walk alongside, with red flags on poles rising above. Dense crowds line the road and crowd onto balconies and rooftops, and a row of vehicles, a red bus and a rickshaw are visible. Strings of bunting and flags stretch across the street.
