Photo taken upside down of a street-side ritual procession. A silver-coloured ceremonial pole with a twisted handle dominates the right side. Beneath a small orange and red canopy hangs a deity murti or small figure hung with green and orange garlands. Men wearing orange and saffron cloths and red turbans crowd the frame, one holding a long pole. Above, shop signage and a green-roofed structure are visible, with a tiled shop front and a building facade behind the procession. A blue caption on the lower right reads a date and Mandakpadi offering.
