A photograph of a crowded procession inside a stone-walled passage, with devotees lifting a decorated palanquin bearing a small deity murti garlanded with flowers and framed by a fringed canopy. A long-haired young man in an orange-red top and saffron dhoti, arms raised, leads the crowd beside a man in a red sweater and jeans, while a bearded man in a white kurta and white dhoti wears an orange shawl at right. Several men in saffron and orange shawls, some in orange caps, press around the palanquin, with more people visible at the back. Hands grip the carrying poles and the mood is jubilant.
