A procession outside the white Sri Anandeshwara Temple in Bidadi, with a central group of devotees in white and cream clothes with gold borders, several wearing orange shawls. A figure in the foreground center, with long dark hair and an orange shawl, holds hands in namaste, while a tall man in an orange robe and bald head stands to the right. Devotees carry red and orange flags, and an ornate multicoloured umbrella shades the group. Sandals lie on the ground at the front, and a plaque on the temple wall reads in Kannada. Palm trees and a cloudy sky are behind the building. The scene is a temple procession, not a stage event.
