A dense outdoor procession crowd moves through a palm-lined street past a white building with arched colonnades. Many women in white saris with orange shawls balance brass pots or kalasha vessels on their heads, while men in white dhotis and shirts walk among them. Orange and black flags on tall poles rise above the crowd, and a red-and-orange canopy and an electric pole with speakers sit to the right. A woman in the foreground holds a steel vessel and a plastic water bottle. Several people in white shirts and orange shawls stand near a roadside stall. Partial figures fill the lower edge, so the count is approximate.2008-08-01June 19 20142014-06-19 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a roadside welcome.
