A night procession at a temple-like event carries a decorated palanquin with a deity murti lit by warm light. The palanquin is canopied by a yellow umbrella with multicoloured trim and draped with garlands in red, orange and pink. Men and women in white and orange-saffron clothing with shoulder cloths walk alongside, pulling or carrying the palanquin along a dirt path lined by palm trees. A man in a white shirt with a lanyard badge walks in front, and a bare-headed figure in white sits or stands near the palanquin base. A dark backdrop and a faint logo appear in the upper corner.
