Outdoor procession at a temple courtyard. A man with swept-back hair, tilak, a gold-and-pink necklace and a gold pendant, wearing orange-brown cloth with gold borders and gold armbands, walks forward smiling. Beside him a young boy in orange robes with white forehead markings holds a brass tray with a decorated kalasha and flowers. Behind them, brass long horns and a drum are played by people in maroon and red clothes, and a gold-framed arch surrounds a deity murti with a pink backdrop. Stone statues stand at the right side.
