A photograph of a street procession at a temple. A decorated deity palanquin or vehicle is garlanded with orange, white, pink and red flowers and green leaves, with a lion-faced mask at its front. Many women in saris and jewellery crowd around it, including one in a pink and green sari, one in an orange sari and one in a green blouse with a grey-haired woman in glasses in the foreground. A man in white stands behind the palanquin near a pink-and-white tiered structure, and a man in a dark shirt stands at the right edge. Red brick walls and green trees surround the scene, with a golden temple roof visible above.
