A festival procession at dusk with a golden deity murti decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands and a green-and-gold necklace, seated within an ornate gold canopy shrine mounted on a wooden palanquin.

Multicoloured striped parasols with orange and red fringes rise above the shrines, and blurred orange and blue cloth fills the foreground.
