Outdoor evening procession on a dirt road beside a red brick wall and palm trees. A decorated wooden float draped with an orange cloth carries a large deity murti under a multicoloured fringed canopy, with a golden lion-like vahana beneath it and flower garlands in red, white and yellow around the figure. Two men in white dhoti and shawl sit on the float; one wears a gold-beaded necklace and sits beside brass bells and a small kalasha-like vessel. A standing man in white dhoti with red borders bends over a black speaker box on the float. In the background a few people in ordinary clothes walk along the road and a man in a red shirt and orange cap sits by the float.
