A photograph inside a temple hall of a festival procession with a gilded palanquin covered in garlands of red and pink flowers and white cloth, carrying a silver-coloured utsava murti. A bare-chested priest in white dhoti and green-bordered cloth stands at left, reaching toward the palanquin. In the centre, a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered shawl, orange and gold garlands, a headband and a forehead tilak smiles while holding his hands together near the palanquin. Beside him, a shaved-headed sannyasi in orange garments raises a hand in greeting. Devotees in white and orange stand behind them, and a red and blue canopy with tassels hangs overhead.
