A crowded street procession in Ujjain, with a dense throng of onlookers filling the road and pavements. At the centre, a decorated palanquin-style float carries a man in white dhoti and a bare-chested man with a red headcloth and red garland, while a bald man in white kurta raises a tall red flag on a pole. Many red flags, saffron and orange umbrellas, and colourful market stalls line the route, and a large banner shows a robed saint figure. Riders on decorated horses and people in white ritual dress move through the crowd. A procession with flags and a float, not a stage event.
