Outdoor temple procession at a stone step entrance decorated with multicoloured flower garlands and a fringed canopy. A central man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a long gold necklace with a large gold pendant and a red tilak, walks forward smiling; his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and saffron shawls hold a tall golden staff and silver trident-topped rods (tridents). A man on the right in white kurta and dhoti with a saffron shawl and rudraksha mala holds a silver staff. Women in white saris stand with hands folded in namaste along the right side.
