Outdoor temple procession on a sunny day with palm trees behind. In the foreground a long-haired figure in saffron robes and a white flower garland bows with hands pressed together, while two saffron-clad men beside him hold brass trays of yellow flowers. Behind them a crowd of devotees in white and orange stands near a flatbed cart draped with a striped multicolored cloth, bearing a brass oil lamp, incense smoke, a kalasha-like vessel and green mango leaves. Beside the cart a deity murti is adorned with heaped yellow and white marigold garlands, and orange and red festival flags and a decorated canopy rise on the left. A figure in orange also appears in a painted portrait at upper right. The scene suggests a procession with puja offerings.
