Outdoor procession on a bright day with a blue sky and trees behind white tented structures. A large palanquin-style float (ratha) is carried aloft, decorated with pink, green and multicolour fabric, flowers and a canopy; a painted deity-like figure in pink is visible on it. Several people hold up tall red and blue flags. Devotees wear white shirts and orange sashes, with flower garlands in marigold and beige tones. A man in a white t-shirt with a garland raises a flag, a woman in orange and white applauds, and a man in orange stands at left. A signboard reads Sri Anandeshwara Temple, and a poster on the right describes special features of a sacred temple.
