Outdoor procession in a mountain setting with pine-covered slopes behind. A large red umbrella with multicoloured pompom fringe shelters a palanquin-style deity murti dressed with silver ornaments, white and pink garlands and green-and-red drapery. A man with long dark hair and a red tilak, wearing an orange shawl, stands beneath the umbrella with a trident-like staff beside him. Around them, devotees in orange caps and orange shawls press close, and a grey-bearded man in a grey jacket and orange shawl holds a long white pipe-like horn to his mouth. A video camera on a tripod is visible at right and several onlookers in casual clothing watch from the edges.
