A large outdoor procession moves across a paved courtyard. At the centre, a deity murti is carried on a flower-garlanded platform beneath a decorated canopy, its garland of marigolds and mixed blooms vivid in the sun. Devotees in orange and saffron robes walk alongside, many holding rudraksha malas. In the foreground, an elderly bare-chested man with white hair, a beaded rudraksha necklace and a white dhoti walks carrying a yellow shopping bag. Women in orange saris and men in orange dhotis follow, some holding ceremonial umbrellas in blue, orange and red. A green generator unit and a sculpture of a hooded figure are visible in the background under a pale sky.
