A large outdoor procession moves along a paved road lined with trees, utility poles and low buildings. Many men and women in white dhotis, saris and shirts, several wearing rudraksha malas, walk with orange flags. Above the crowd, multicoloured umbrellas are held aloft. In the middle of the group, a figure in an orange-red robe walks among the marchers. Some people carry orange cloth and a small sign stands by the roadside. The bright sunlight casts shadows across the tarmac.
