A large outdoor procession moves along a paved courtyard in bright daylight past red-painted ashram buildings and bamboo. At the centre, a deity murti decorated with a dense garland of marigolds and flowers is carried forward, shaded by ornate pink and gold umbrellas and a multicoloured canopy. Many participants wear orange and saffron garments, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas, and a few women wear orange saris; a drummer in orange is at left. A man in white with a rudraksha mala and grey hair walks at right, along with others in white and brown clothing. The scene reflects a devotional procession with puja-style offerings.
