A dense outdoor crowd gathers around a central figure wearing an orange-saffron turban and orange robes, with a garland of pink flowers and white blossoms held by a bare-chested devotee in front. Behind, ornate umbrellas with red, green, yellow and white tassels are held aloft, and a large yellow-green bus with passengers at its windows stands in the background. A camera operator with a shoulder-mounted camera and a boom microphone films the scene, and many people in white dhotis and orange-clad sannyasis press close. The central turbaned figure appears to be in an unsure identity category, and the crowd is pressing toward the procession's centre.
