Outdoor festival scene under a bright sunny sky with palm trees behind. A decorated canopy with red, green and yellow panels and tassels shades a floral-decorated palanquin or deity platform. A man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair bends forward over the platform, which is adorned with garlands and a deity murti. A small framed portrait sits on the platform back. Surrounding devotees in white clothes and orange shawls stand closely packed, several wearing rudraksha malas, watching the ritual. A man in orange at left and devotees in white at right complete the crowd.
