A large procession outdoors on a paved courtyard, with many people walking behind a palanquin-style ratha topped by a fringed canopy and heavy marigold garlands. Many participants wear saffron/orange robes and some carry orange and patterned parasols. Men in white dhotis walk barefoot, and several bare-chested devotees with garlands and beaded necklaces follow. A bus with the word NITHYANANDAM is parked to the right, and a red-walled compound sits behind. No figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is named.
