Outdoor festival scene under a clear blue sky during a procession. A young man in saffron-orange robes with a maroon sash stands at left, swinging a brass ritual bell-and-lamp implement over a decorated deity murti. The murti wears an orange turban-like crown, white cloth, and yellow, orange and purple flower garlands, and sits on a palanquin with a striped canopy framed by multicolored garlanded arches. Behind it, a framed portrait shows a smiling man in orange with a beaded necklace. Behind them, a row of onlookers in white clothing, some raising their hands, watches near a building with a green tiled roof. Multiple people are visible in the crowd.
