A street procession in a Himalayan town, with devotees in saffron and orange clothing carrying a decorated palanquin of deity murtis under a multicoloured canopy. The murtis are garlanded with white, yellow, red and pink flower garlands and sit under a golden arch. Many people in orange shawls and orange caps push and lift the palanquin, while a man in white shirt and white cap at right holds a long pole. A building behind shows a sign reading Deepika Sadan Gangotri Dham. The scene resembles a temple chariot procession through the narrow street, with some people visible on the steps at right. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues in this view.
