Crowds of people walk on both sides, including men in white shirts and dark trousers, a man in a striped t-shirt, and people in maroon and red shirts. Yellow and blue umbrella-like canopies with a blue emblem stand at left and right edges. Overhead wires cross the scene.

Lit by bright overhead lights, a decorated float or palanquin carries a deity murti draped in marigold garlands and bright yellow-orange flowers, with a trident and a green canopy above. Two men in white dhotis stand near the float, one holding a long staff. A string-light arch frames the scene, and a colourful striped cloth hangs from the float's pole. A figure in orange robes on the float appears to be seated near the murti, but the appearance is too uncertain to identify.
