Outdoor procession of devotees in white traditional clothing, many women in white saris with yellow or gold borders and men in white shirts and dhotis. Several people balance silver or steel milk pots and vessels on their heads with raised arms, a practice consistent with palakodam milk-pot offerings for abhishekam. Some wear rudraksha or bead malas, and a few women have red bindis. Trees, a utility pole and a bright sky with a white flower garland at the top edge form the background. Some devotees wear small event badges on their clothing.
