Outdoor procession in front of a red-brick building with air conditioning units. A large deity murti is carried on a palanquin decorated with a dense garland of red, orange, yellow and purple flowers, under an ornate umbrella with coloured fringe. Several devotees wear saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas; one bare-chested man in orange holds a kalasha-like offering while a white-haired elder in white dhoti and shawl guides the palanquin with a yellow cloth. Women in orange and green saris and young boys in orange line the route, with a few onlookers in casual clothes at right. A blue-and-gold umbrella stands at left.
