Night procession on a red tractor-drawn float carrying a large decorated deity murti of Devi with a multi-armed form behind the seated figures. In the centre, a bearded man in a saffron-orange robe and a wide white-and-pink flower garland sits on the float under a red umbrella. Beside him, a man with a bare chest wears a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala, holding a dark cloth. Another person in white holds a purple umbrella at the right edge. A tractor driver in a blue checked shirt sits at the left, with orange and purple umbrellas nearby and a woman in red behind the railing. The flower garlands and gilded float add to the scene. The seated man in orange shows the distinctive presentation of a person, though this is an appearance-based label only.
