Night photograph of a procession on a raised platform. A man in an orange-red dhoti and saffron wrap stands at the centre, leaning forward to reach a deity murti decorated with flower garlands, mounted on a gold-toned carriage with a golden canopy. Two attendants in white dhotis and white upper garments stand on either side holding white fly-whisks. A green cloth drapes the platform base, and a large trident stands at the right edge among onlookers in the dark. The surroundings are unlit except for a few lamps.
