A golden palanquin procession moves through an outdoor crowd. A seated figure bare-chested in a red shawl and red garland sits on a golden palanquin with a gold-and-yellow canopy fringed with red and green tassels, flanked by white jasmine garlands and purple flower swags. Gold poles topped with a trident-like finial and an ornamental sculpture support the canopy. Devotees surround the palanquin: a bald man in orange, women in saris reaching to touch the carriage, and men in white shirts behind. Orange flags and palm trees appear in the background.
