A photograph of a procession on a shaded dirt path beneath large trees. A decorated palanquin carries a deity murti draped in gold and silver ornaments, framed by an ornate arch with red and white garlands. Many people in plain white clothing walk around it: men in white shirts and dhotis, women in white saris with dark hair, some wearing identity lanyards. A woman in the foreground wears a white sari with a red bindi and gold earrings, and another woman in a cream and gold sari walks at the centre. Red and orange walls appear in the background.
