Outdoor procession carrying a deity murti under a large canopy decorated with multicolored fabric and a dense garland of red, orange, yellow and white flowers. Several men in white dhotis, some bare-chested, and devotees in saffron-orange robes carry the palanquin-style structure along a dusty road. Crowds of women and men surround it, one man holds a brass vessel aloft, and yellow excavators and a roadside tree appear in the background under a pale sky.
