Evening procession at dusk on a dirt path. Two men lead the front, both bald and wearing orange-saffron shawls over white dhotis; the one on the left holds a conch shell to his chest in both hands, and the one on the right wears a gold pendant and holds his hands together in prayer. Behind them, a palanquin carries a deity murti decorated with a large garland, a golden backdrop and a red, yellow and blue ornate umbrella overhead, with other white-clad devotees following. Trees and a darkening blue sky frame the scene.
