A photograph of an outdoor procession cart decorated with an orange and navy striped cloth draped over its platform. On the cart sits a deity murti with a golden arch behind it, adorned with yellow and orange marigold garlands and a red cloth. A red and white umbrella with fringe is mounted above, and a black speaker stands at the left edge. Three men in white ritual clothes stand beside the cart; two wear yellow shawls and one has a rudraksha mala, and they are touching or tending the cart. A plate of fruit and offerings sits on the platform. Dusty open ground and low red-and-white buildings form the background.
