Outdoor photograph of a deity murti being carried in procession under a canopy. Two large metal murtis dressed in dark garments with silver ornaments and jewelry stand on a golden arched frame, surrounded by thick garlands of yellow-green, maroon, white and pink flowers. The central murti holds a staff-like sceptre and a trident, and a red and purple fringed umbrella canopy shades the figures. Tall trees and bright sky appear behind, with devotees' heads visible at the bottom edge of the frame and a decorated palanquin partly visible at the right. A date stamp reads 22 12 2005 in the corner. No physical person is clearly visible apart from the partially visible crowd at the bottom.
