Outdoor procession scene with devotees in saffron-orange robes gathered around a decorated palanquin or ratha. Garlands of yellow and white flowers and colourful striped fabric frame a deity murti of a standing figure with a crown. A large framed portrait above the murti shows a figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala. In the foreground a young man in orange holds a yellow-tasselled umbrella while another in orange raises his hands in anjali near an incense burner with smoke rising. A tall golden trident stands at right and a red-and-yellow umbrella with tassels shades the left. Onlookers in white and orange fill the background under palm trees.
