A man in an orange saffron dhoti and a tall ornate silver crown stands on a wheeled cart, holding a lit oil lamp (aarti) toward a deity murti decorated with garlands and a large golden-yellow parasol-style canopy with colorful fabric edges. The murti sits on a golden pedestal on an orange cloth-covered flatbed cart. Several white-clad men in dhotis walk alongside, and a woman in a white sari with an orange shawl stands with palms pressed together.
