Outdoor procession in daylight with many devotees in saffron-orange dhoti-style garments, several bare-chested, some with white or yellow tilak marks and rudraksha malas. A young man in orange at centre carries a brass tray of flowers and offerings. Two large ornate umbrellas, one purple with gold floral pattern and one with silver fringe, are held aloft over the group, with a sculpted or painted figure partly visible behind them. Men in white dhotis with mala necklaces and women in orange saris walk along a stone-paved route in front of wooden construction scaffolding. Many people are visible, including children, and the scene reads as a ritual procession.
