Night photograph of a festival procession. A man in white ceremonial dhoti and shawl with a maroon border holds a long pole with an orange tassel up toward a deity murti. The murti sits on a golden peacock vehicle draped in colourful garlands of white and yellow flowers, with peacock feathers rising behind it.
