Outdoor procession under a large banyan tree on a paved courtyard. A man bare-chested in an orange dhoti holds a long pole supporting a multicoloured fringed canopy, with a garland of yellow and red flowers draped over a decorated figure beneath it. Around him, several people in orange and saffron robes stand with hands folded in prayer, some wearing rudraksha malas; one woman in orange holds a brass vessel. Sunlight filters through the leaves, with a blue mat spread across the stones in the foreground.
