A street procession moves through a crowded Indian town road lined with shops and trees. Red and gold ceremonial umbrellas with tasselled fringes shade the procession. At centre, a woman with long dark hair wears an orange saffron garment and a garland of orange and white flowers, smiling as she walks. Around her, devotees in white and saffron clothing press close, including older women in white saris and men in white shirts. Several blank white placards are held up on poles. Shops, a wine shop sign and a tree line the roadside.
