A temple procession walks along a red carpet under a covered corridor with metal railings, hung with decorative paper bunting and painted pillars. At the centre, a man in a violet-blue dhoti and gold-bordered shawl wears long rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a gold pendant, and walks barefoot holding a staff. Behind him, a man in a saffron-orange robe and beaded mala carries a staff, and a red-and-multicolour umbrella is held overhead. Other men in white dhotis and saffron cloth follow, with women in pink and blue saris at the right. Warm light glows from a shrine beyond.
