Night procession photograph. A large illuminated golden shrine-like structure with a gilded arched top and fairy lights carries a deity murti with many arms, in a dark outdoor setting. In front, a silhouetted crowd of people holds a red flag that billows in the foreground, and dark umbrellas appear at the left, with a bright light source at the left edge. Figures are mostly silhouetted and no individual's face or clothing details are distinguishable, so no a person candidate is visible.
