Outdoor procession on a dirt ground under a covered open-sided pavilion with a dark arched roof of vertical bars. A decorated palanquin-style carriage with a multicoloured canopy, pink and green draped fabric, and garlands of flowers and tinsel holds a framed portrait of a robed figure in orange with a garland. A white fan-like chamara is held beside it. Devotees in white and cream clothes, including saris and kurtas, many with orange shawls and marigold garlands, walk around and push the carriage. Several people carry orange flags bearing a blue emblem. A blue cloth-covered table is near the carriage. A tall man in a white robe stands at the front of the carriage holding an offering. A saffron-robed monastic stands at the right edge. Trees, rocky hills and a blue sky with clouds sit in the background.
