A crowded outdoor procession near an ornate temple gateway with painted deity figures and colourful pillars under a bright sky. A large red, yellow and blue parasol-style canopy with tasselled edges stands at the left edge. Many devotees throng the street: a man in white with a red-and-blue shirt, women in saris and white garments, one woman wearing a pink-and-white garland, and people in orange and saffron clothing. Several hands reach toward the central group as people gather and press forward. A yellow banner and a small white sign are visible near the gate.
