Night-time outdoor procession at a temple courtyard lit by bright floodlights and strings of coloured lights. Many devotees in white dhotis and shirts, some wearing saffron or orange shawls with red sashes, stand on a paved brick floor, hands pressed together in prayer. A young boy in a saffron shawl stands on a green leaf mat, and a man in orange robes bows low near the front. Men on the right hold a large pink banner printed with a portrait of a seated figure in saffron robes and Kannada-script lettering. Behind them a decorated palanquin or chariot shows a deity image, and a tall ornamental stone pillar and a dark lingam-like shrine stand under a palm tree. The scene is a devotional procession or puja.
