A procession moves through a bright, polished-marble hall. Many devotees in white dhotis, sarees and kurtas walk in a line, carrying tall ceremonial umbrellas and banners. Several umbrellas are white with gold trim, while others are orange or red with gold tassels. A woman in front wears a white saree with gold border and holds a red-shafted umbrella. A man at left in a white dhoti and red shawl holds a long pole. Behind them, figures in red and saffron robes with rudraksha malas stand near framed photographs on the wall. A golden deity figure is partly visible at left, and a banner shows a circular emblem.
