Pilgrims participating in the Kanwar Yatra travel along a busy road in Delhi, India, alongside regular city traffic. Groups of Kanwariyas wearing matching pink T-shirts and saffron headscarves walk and run beside decorated trucks carrying fellow pilgrims, with Indian national flags displayed on several vehicles. Cargo trucks bearing Hindu religious symbols and devotional inscriptions, motorcycles, auto-rickshaws, buses, cars, and commercial vehicles share the multi-lane roadway. An overhead road sign indicates the route toward Barapullah, placing the scene in Delhi's urban road network.
