A photograph of a crowded street procession in a hillside town with corrugated tin roofs and tarpaulins. At centre, a decorated palanquin carries a deity murti with a white canopy and gold-trimmed fabric, borne by devotees. Many people wear saffron and orange clothing, some in white kurtas, and several raise hands or take photos. A yellow cloth hangs from a building at right, and a small stall with goods stands in the lower right. Many people are visible, far more than twenty. The scene suggests a devotional procession through a mountain village.
