A large outdoor procession moves through a courtyard in front of a red-walled building with a corrugated roof and a tiled ridge, with bamboo and trees behind. At the centre, a deity murti is decorated with a large garland of red, yellow and white flowers, carried on poles beneath a canopy with a colourful striped top. Many people in orange and saffron robes walk alongside, several carrying umbrellas, including a pink brocade umbrella in the foreground. Some men are bare-chested with white dhotis, and a bald older man in white with a rudraksha mala walks at the right. A small drummer and a few devotees with flower baskets accompany the procession.
