A street procession moves through a crowded Indian town lane lined with shop signs and balconies. Many women in white saris with red borders walk in rows, holding long red banners and bright umbrellas in red, blue, green, yellow and pink with tasselled edges. A man in an orange robe and a saffron-clad monk walk near the front, with police in khaki uniforms guiding the path. Devotees watch from the roadside and upper floors, and a decorated palanquin-style structure appears in the background.

A dense street procession moves through a crowded town lane lined with shops and parked motorcycles. Many people in white dhotis and kurtas, some with orange or saffron sashes, walk beneath a canopy of colourful parasols in yellow, red, blue and maroon with gold fringe.
