Outdoor procession at a temple-like courtyard. A large decorated statue of a figure in a jeweled arched backdrop, garlanded with yellow and pink flowers, stands on a pink satin-draped platform, with a fringed umbrella overhead. A woman in an orange-red sari bows low with hands folded before the statue, scattering yellow petals on the floor. Beside her, women in orange-red saris and rudraksha beads stand in a row. On the right, a life-size cutout portrait of a man in orange robes and a turban, garlanded with red and yellow flowers, is carried under a multicoloured fringed parasol. A crowd of devotees in mixed attire watches from behind. A trishul stands near the platform.
