Night procession scene with a golden ornate ratha or palanquin carrying a deity murti dressed in white and blue with garlands, under a gold canopy with a red-maroon cloth backdrop. Two shirtless men in saffron-orange dhotis stand on the chariot tending the deity: one holds a large white chamara fan, the other, wearing a rudraksha mala and ceremonial beaded necklace, leans toward the murti. A golden trident (trishul) stands in the foreground beside a kalasha-topped staff. Women in orange saris and men in white and saffron clothing walk along the street, a red-and-white strip of paper-printed photos and a bright white light fixture visible on the right.
