A large banner carrying a painted image of a woman in blue offering a bowl leads the procession, and a tall orange-and-white vertical banner stands to the right. Several robed figures in orange, saffron and cream walk in the procession, while the crowd watches from the pavement and balconies. Street lamps, illuminated arches and billboards light the scene. The people in the foreground and behind the banner are walking with the procession or watching it pass.
