Outdoor temple procession on a paved ashram road. In the foreground a bare-chested priest in white dhoti with a sandalwood/vibhuti marking stands on a gold-painted ratha cart, waving a white fan (chamara) over a golden deity murti under a golden canopy with a fringed multicolour umbrella. The murti is decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands. Behind, a second cart carries another decorated deity shrine under a tiered parasol, with a priest in white beside it. A white-clad figure walks on the left, and a red building with air conditioners stands at right. Only the priests and a couple of attendants are visible.
