A photograph of a temple procession in which a large deity murti decorated with a dense arch of red, orange, yellow, purple and white flower garlands is carried forward by a line of men. Several bare-chested men in white dhotis and orange cloths with rudraksha malas support the palanquin, and one carries a folded white cloth over his shoulder. Behind them a shaved-headed man in white stands near a temple shrine with painted deity figures and yellow fabric. On the right, a dark stone deity murti wears a yellow and white flower garland, and an attendant in orange robes stands nearby. Overhead a yellow striped canopy shelters the procession.
