A night-time outdoor procession at an open sandy ground under a long white canopy with orange trim. A crowd of roughly two dozen people, mostly men in white dhotis and shirts and some in saffron or orange garments, stands in a loose line along the canopy. A decorated palanquin or chariot at the right carries a deity murti under a floral, illuminated canopy, with a bright ornate golden structure beside it. Strong floodlights cast glare across the open ground, and a small string of coloured lights runs along the canopy's left edge. Watermarked copyright text appears in the lower right corner.
