A street procession in a mountain town, with a large deity murti of Shiva and Parvati-style figure carried on an orange-draped palanquin on the shoulders of many men. Devotees in orange and saffron shawls and dark clothing walk around it, some wearing sunglasses and caps. A mountain slope and shops with blue tarpaulin roofs line the street, and a tourist company signboard is visible on a lilac building. Garlands of marigolds adorn the murti, which wears a crown and ornate jewellery. In the lower left a person holds a red-and-orange umbrella overhead. Several men have shaved heads. Strong midday sunlight.
