Outdoor procession on dirt ground under trees. A young man in a white dhoti and white shirt on the left plays a barrel drum with a patterned cover; another white-clad drummer on the right plays a drum with a yellow cloth. Centre, a young man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe and holds a ritual stick, reaching toward the drummer. Behind him, several men in orange robes carry a small brass deity murti and a brass tray of red flowers. Two large umbrellas with orange and red canopies and embroidered green flowers and white bird emblems stand above the group. Women in white saris and onlookers line the background.
