Outdoor procession at a temple-style event under a yellow canopy with colourful umbrellas (multi-coloured panels with blue bird motifs) and orange flags. A man in the foreground wears an orange robe, a long gold necklace and a red forehead mark; he is walking near a yellow-and-orange clad group. Behind him, devotees in white and orange clothing, some with folded hands, carry white fly-whisk type fans, and women in saffron and white saris walk along a path. A decorated kalasha sits on a table at the right beside floral garlands, and mats are laid on the ground. Palm trees and thatched structures frame the scene.
