The Queer Azaadi Mumbai Pride March, held on Saturday, saw hundreds turn up to wave rainbow flags, dress up as superheroes, do a jib, and just be themselves

While many were waving multi-coloured flags to declare their freedom, others were dressed in other-worldly avatars to support the gay community. "I am dressed like a queer superhero," said Amber Pemak, a resident of the US. Pemak participated in the march to express his solidarity with the gay cause.

Vinay Bhorkade, who was floating a rainbow-coloured flag, said the multi-hued flier signified the many vibrant colours of his life, "including my mom and dad".
