A yellow mobile shrine van, its rear doors open, displays a deity murti decorated with white and yellow garlands and flowers, with a small television monitor and loudspeaker on its roof. A large framed portrait on the van shows a figure in orange robes and a rudraksha-style necklace; a second orange-clad portrait appears on the left side. Several devotees crowd around: a man in a white shirt and grey trousers gestures toward the shrine, a man in an orange-and-white shirt stands beside it, and a man in white stands in the foreground. Women in saris and children in bright clothing press in. A golden decorated ratha-style canopy with tassels and a hill are visible behind. The scene suggests a procession or outdoor public event.2010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29Outdoor festival procession in a dusty open ground with a forested hill behind.
