A gilded palanquin on the right carries two seated figures under a striped canopy, decorated with red drapes and garlands, and a golden lion-like or horse-like vehicle is at its base. Behind, a second golden shrine carries a deity murti. Colourful umbrellas, lit lamps and string lights line the route under a dark sky, with a tall lighting tower behind. Individuals in the crowd are indistinct; no clearly identifiable candidate for the a person role is visible on the palanquin, so identity is unsure.2016-12-23
