A procession of young devotees in saffron and orange robes walks barefoot along a red carpet in an outdoor temple courtyard. A central figure in a rust-brown garment with gold trim and a large gold pendant necklace leads, wearing a rudraksha mala and a tilak on the forehead. Several attendants on both sides hold long golden horns aloft, and one plays a drum at the right edge. Behind them stands a stone shrine with carved animal figures and a tiled roof, with trees and a corrugated canopy overhead.
