A dense crowd of devotees fills a street during an outdoor procession. Many people in white kurta and dhoti raise their hands high, while others wear saffron-orange robes. In the foreground at left, brass-band musicians in red and white uniforms with peaked caps play trumpets and a tuba, and a white knitted cap is worn by one musician. Ornate umbrellas in red, blue and yellow with golden fringe and decorated panels stand above the procession, and orange flags with a blue emblem wave from poles. Coconut palms and a thatched roof frame the scene under a bright sky.
