Outdoor procession in a dusty compound lined with unfinished concrete buildings and a corrugated-roof shed. A decorated palanquin with an orange fringed canopy and a multicoloured striped parasol carries a seated figure draped in orange, garlanded with marigolds and flower strands. Many devotees in white and pastel saris and kurtas walk around it, several with hands folded in anjali. A woman in an orange sari stands at the right edge, and a man in a white shirt holds a fan-like object near the palanquin. Speakers and a white truck with stacked amplifiers sit at the left. Prominent people number about thirty to fifty, with many more partially visible at the edges.
