Night procession with a large illuminated deity murti of Durga, ten-armed and riding a lion, atop a decorated float. Figures in saffron-orange robes walk beside the float, and a seated figure in white with a shawl sits in front of the lion, with an orange-robed attendant nearby. Red and orange ceremonial flags and orange umbrellas with pink trim fill the foreground, and smoke or dust drifts through the frame. Bright floodlights and a few vehicles are visible in the background.
