A photograph of a festival vehicle at night beneath strings of multicoloured fairy lights. In the foreground a painted white and blue bull (Nandi) with gold trim and red markings stands. On its back a gilded metal figure of Shiva seated on a raised platform wears a white dhoti, a tall decorated crown, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, holding a trident-like staff and a drum-like object while raising one hand. Beside him a smaller gilded figure of Parvati wears a red garment and ornate gold crown and jewellery. The platform has ornate carved metal panels and a rope tied to a ring. The scene is a procession vehicle, not a live gathering, with no physical people visible.
