A large outdoor procession moves down a dusty road lined with trees and utility poles. Many people in white dhotis and white kurtas walk among waving saffron-red flags, with a gold ceremonial palanquin or ratha carried at the centre beneath a yellow umbrella. Police officers in green-and-yellow reflective vests line barricades on the left. A pink temple tower stands at the right edge beside a hanging banner, and small stalls with green awnings appear in the background.
