A night procession at a temple-like outdoor road. On a gilded cart draped in garlands sits a seated man with a red turban and a marigold garland, wearing dark clothing, with a bare-chested attendant standing behind him waving a white feather fan, beneath a large golden umbrella with colourful tassels. Behind the cart stands an ornate gilded deity murti or palanquin framed by flower garlands. Around them, devotees in orange, red, teal and purple saris and white dhotis walk and stand, a young boy in a white shirt watches at left, a young man in orange cloth stands at left, and a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and sacred thread holds a camera at right. A parked blue-canopied vehicle and dark trees fill the background.
