Outdoor procession around a decorated deity murti (utsava moorthy) carried on a wooden palanquin-style cart under a colourful multi-panelled umbrella with tassels. The murti is heavily garlanded with white and red flowers and yellow marigolds, with gold and orange offering plates and kalasha-like pots. A man in an orange-saffron robe with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala raises his hand and smiles near the cart; his presentation is consistent with the page's a person reference but the face and details are not confidently established, so he is described by role as a sannyasi in saffron. Around them about a dozen devotees in white dhotis and cream sarees raise hands in devotion, some holding incense or aarti, with a man in a white shirt and shoulder bag at the front. Trees and a dirt field form the backdrop.2009-12-23Outdoor photo of a deity murti on an orange-draped table, decorated with white and red flower garlands and a multicoloured umbrella overhead, while people gather to perform worship.
