A photograph of a street procession with a decorated deity murti on a ratha or palanquin, the figures wrapped in white jasmine garlands with orange and yellow marigold garlands and red and green accents. A figure in a saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange clothing stands at right with palms pressed together in namaskar, long dark curly hair falling to the shoulders, facing the deity. A golden staff with a decorated top is visible at right, and a uniformed attendant stands in the background among onlookers. The white-walled building and street crowd suggest a festival procession.
