Inside a temple hall, a gilded palanquin carrying a decorated deity murti draped in white and garlanded with pink and white flowers is being carried past a row of devotees. A bald man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands with hands raised in salutation toward the palanquin. Beside him, a bearded man with long dark hair wears a rudraksha-style red and white bead mala over an orange robe, hands joined in prayer. A man in a long orange-and-gold robe with a shawl and gold necklaces stands with folded hands, and a bald man in orange with a garland stands at the right. Men in white dhotis and onlookers stand behind them, with a silver chamara-like fan and lamps nearby. A pale-haired elderly man in white shirt is at the far right edge.
