A photograph of a street procession at a temple-side route. In the centre, a long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe and a rudraksha mala leans forward, reaching toward a decorated palanquin carrying a silver-and-gold deity murti draped with a colourful garland. Around him, devotees in orange and saffron shawls and white kurtas hold the palanquin and a ceremonial parasol, while a bearded man in grey on the right holds a long staff. A trident is visible at left. Several men wear orange caps and shawls, and the crowd presses close around the ratha-style procession.
