Outdoor photo of women in colourful saris and salwar kameez gathered around a decorated deity murti on a golden-canopied ratha or chariot-like structure, garlanded with white, pink and orange flowers. Women in purple, royal blue, yellow and mint-green saris stand close, some with long braids, one in a red dupatta, facing the shrine amid green trees and a golden temple tower behind. The setting suggests a Bonalu-style procession with women devotees.
