Dense street procession around a decorated palanquin draped with orange and white flower garlands and hanging brass bells. A figure seated on the palanquin wears a red-and-orange garment and a beaded necklace, while a bare-chested man in orange dhoti stands beside it and a man in white dhoti walks nearby. Crowds of devotees in white and red clothing wave large red flags, and many colourful umbrellas shade the procession. A tricolour flag appears among the red flags, and a white building with a red canopy stands behind.
