Outdoor procession scene at a dusty dirt road. A figure in long flowing orange-saffron robes and long dark hair stands at the back of a red-framed wooden cart draped with an orange cloth, holding a multicoloured parasol with fringed tassels overhead. On the cart sit a deity murti or utsava moorthy garlanded with white and red flower garlands, surrounded by fruit, brass kalasha-style vessels, lamps, and offerings in baskets. Around the cart a crowd of about twenty devotees in white clothing with yellow scarves and some in orange press palms together in añjali mudra and pray. Parked vehicles, a white van marked Be Blissful, a white SUV, and a stage with speakers are visible in the background, with hills beyond.
