A dense outdoor street procession crowd moves past tented stalls decorated with orange and yellow marigold garlands and red, saffron and white flags on tall poles. Many people in everyday Indian clothing, saris, salwar kameez and white dhotis fill the road, with several women in red and pink saris and men in shirts and caps. A pink-shirted man stands on a red vehicle near floral decorations, and a few people wear orange tilaks or saffron cloths. Banners and framed posters line the tented stalls on the right, and a white-shirted man with a cap rides a motorcycle at the right edge. Trees shade the street and a small blue circular sign hangs on the left.
