Two men in white dhotis, one with a bare chest, carry a long bundle wrapped in orange cloth at shoulder height. Behind them, men in white dhotis and saffron-lined garments walk the steps, a woman in white sari stands near the shrine, and tourists with cameras watch from the right. Several flags, including a red-and-orange pennant, fly from the shrine roof. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in the carried bundle or the procession.
