Outdoor evening procession on grass. A seated man in red-orange robes and a red shawl sits on a raised orange-draped platform with a zebra-striped cushioned seat, under an orange parasol with colourful fringe, smiling and raising a hand while a crowd of devotees in white and saffron attire claps and watches. Behind him a decorated ratha/palanquin carries a deity murti framed with garlands and a fringed canopy, pulled by men in white dhotis, with a child in green and purple dress walking in front. Spectators in white, pink and yellow saris and kurtas line the grass, with trees and a building in the background.
