A street procession moves along a tree-lined road with many devotees walking toward the camera. Most men wear white dhotis and shirts with orange or saffron shawls draped over their shoulders, and several carry tall orange flags on poles. Ornate decorated parasols and a framed banner with a red and blue emblem are carried above the crowd. A video camera with a monitor on the right films the procession, and a woman in a red sari rides a bicycle on the right edge.
