A photograph of a crowded outdoor procession with a decorated palanquin at the centre, topped by a multicoloured umbrella canopy with yellow and green balloons tied to its frame. Several large ornate parasol-style umbrellas in orange, gold and blue flank the palanquin, and orange and red flags fly above. Many devotees in white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing rudraksha malas, walk closely around the palanquin with their backs to the camera, several with hands folded in greeting. A man in an orange cap stands in the foreground, and a woman in an orange shawl and red garment is visible on the right. Dirt ground and low buildings with palm trees form the background.
