A procession on a stone-paved courtyard lined with devotees on both sides, many in saffron, orange, green and pink saris and kurtas, with palms pressed together. A central figure in a red-brown robe and a crown-like headdress wears a long garland and walks forward under red and pink ornate umbrellas carried by men in white dhotis and a man in a pale blue shirt. Behind him a dark car and a white parasol appear, and a long staff with a trident-like top rises at the left. Strings of lights hang from a covered pavilion at the left. The crowd appears to number about 21-100 people.
