A large street procession seen from above during a daytime festival. At the centre, a white and gold canopy shades a palanquin-like float decorated with garlands of orange and white flowers, carried by men in white dhotis. Many colourful umbrellas in pink, blue, yellow, orange and purple are held aloft over the crowd, and tall red flags wave along the route. Uniformed police officers line the street, and a crowd of devotees fills the road beneath strings of bunting. Shops and a tanker truck are visible at the right edge.
