Night procession of decorated ceremonial vehicles along a palm-lined road. In the centre, a golden palanquin-style chariot with a gilded canopy and carved panels is draped with red fabric and heavy garlands of marigold and white flowers, with hanging tassels of pink, yellow and green. Behind it, a smaller golden shrine-like cart carries a seated deity murti under a gilded roof, and a tractor pulls a flower-decked trailer. Beside the road stands a large banner panel. No clearly identifiable people are visible; there are only partial figures near the carts.
