A dense street procession in daylight, with a crowd pressing forward beneath orange and multicoloured umbrellas. At centre, a man in an orange turban and orange robe wears a long beaded mala, his hair swept back, and appears to be walking within the crowd. Around him, saffron-clad sannyasis, one in an orange cap, a bearded elder with white beard in orange robes, and a man in white head cloth and white clothing stand among devotees. A handheld banner with Kannada script is raised above the heads. Shopfronts behind advertise Nokia mobile, Raymond suitings and Royal Collection signs.
