Photograph of a rain-soaked outdoor procession on a muddy road. Several young men carry a decorated palanquin-style float on long poles. The float has a pointed pink-and-white canopy draped with orange and pink fabric, garlands of marigolds, tassels, and artificial flowers. Men in orange and saffron clothing and dark sports jerseys walk alongside, some with orange-robed devotees in front. Trees, a utility pole, and roadside buildings fill the misty background. Rain is visible in the air.
