A street procession in a busy Indian market road under bright daylight. Saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees walk in a crowd, several with orange and red turbans. Petals fall through the air at left. Above them, red, orange and yellow umbrellas shade the procession. Storefront signs read FAZIL'S SILKS & SAREES, a State Bank of India ATM and a Bank of Baroda sign, and a board reads THE LANGUAGE OF ALL FEET. Men in white shirts and white turbans stand among the crowd, and police in helmets appear in the background. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron garment and a crown-like headpiece, walking within the procession. The scene is a public procession with ritual umbrellas and petals.
