Evening procession at a festival gate lit with pink and white lights and trident motifs. A large banner above the gate shows a deity and devotees. Crowds of men in saffron and orange robes walk along the road, some bare-chested with saffron cloths and white dhotis, while yellow flags are carried aloft. Yellow-vested police and volunteers line the barricades, and banners with portraits flank the route. No individual can be confidently identified from appearance, so no a person candidate is marked.
