A large deity murti sits on a decorated palanquin-style platform with a striped canopy overhead, attended by a figure in white at its side. Beside it, a person in orange robes sits on a low raised platform draped in orange and pink cloth beneath a bright orange umbrella, while nearby a figure in white stands with hands raised. A crowd of devotees in white, orange, red and green clothing, including children in school uniforms, stands on both sides, some holding objects and some with hands joined. A multi-storey concrete building with flags and a banner stands at right under a pink-purple sky.
