Outdoor procession on a paved path in front of a pink-washed temple building with bamboo and a flagpole behind. A large deity murti or image is carried on a palanquin-style frame, garlanded with a dense ring of red, orange and white flower garlands and sheltered by a multicoloured canopy. Many devotees in saffron and orange robes walk alongside, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas, others in white dhotis. Ornamental parasols in pink, blue and orange are held over the procession, and drummers and attendants march in front. A man in white shirt and sandals at the lower right carries a mala.
