Outdoor procession at a Brahmotsava flag-hoisting event. A deity murti sits on a floral-decorated palanquin-style chariot surrounded by marigold and garland festoons. A man in orange robes stands on the chariot and holds a ritual item toward the deities. Above the murti, a framed portrait shows a man in orange robes and a rudraksha-style garland with long hair, and a golden trident stands at right. Around the chariot, devotees in orange and saffron clothing stand with palms pressed together, and a red and yellow umbrella shades the scene. Palm trees are in the background.
