Outdoor procession scene under a tree. Three bare-chested sannyasis in saffron-orange cloth with rudraksha malas and white vibhuti on their foreheads carry a decorated wooden palanquin, or vahana, topped by a deity murti of Lord Ganapati, a pink umbrella overhead. A sannyasi at left waves a large white chamara fan toward the murti. The palanquin has a blue cloth draped beneath and a green and red painted mythical-bird carving. A yellow cloth hangs in the background. Hands are pressed together in reverence while carrying.
