Inside a gilded temple hall, two bare-chested men in white dhoti with gold borders carry a large ornate silver-and-gold palanquin or deity-decorated frame on their shoulders, heavily garlanded with white, yellow and red flowers. Behind them, a man in saffron-orange cloth holds a tall wooden staff supporting a fringed umbrella canopy. Other saffron-clad attendants stand nearby beneath a wooden ceiling, and a cameraman with a tripod films the procession. Framed pictures hang on the gold-pillared wall, and brass vessels and offering baskets rest on the floor.
