Outdoor procession on a city street with a golden palanquin-style seat carried on poles under a multicoloured parasol with fringed tassels, flanked by red, white and saffron banners. A bare-chested young man with a shaved head, white vibhuti marks and a rudraksha mala cheers with open mouth beside a man in white dhoti and shirt raising both arms. A man in saffron-orange shawl with a marigold garland stands near the palanquin, and a woman in a red-and-white sari with a kumkum forehead mark walks in the crowd. Ornate cloth umbrellas and a painted wall of deities frame the scene.
