A large outdoor procession moves along a dirt path past a white signboard with blue and red lettering. At the centre, a decorated palanquin or ratha with striped canopies, orange and yellow garlands and a small ornate deity murti is carried forward. Surrounding it, a dense crowd of devotees wears white dhotis and kurtas, saffron and orange shawls, and colourful saris. Several men in white shirts and khaki trousers walk alongside, some holding orange flags. A black van with large speakers on its roof follows behind. Palm trees and a hillside stand in the background under a clear sky.
