Night procession at a temple-like outdoor pavilion with a striped tarpaulin roof, hanging paper lanterns and fairy lights. In the centre, a man in a long maroon-brown robe and a fresh white-and-red flower garland holds a rope and walks ahead of a golden bull-figured vehicle draped with a golden canopy umbrella with multicoloured fringes. Men in white dhotis and orange cloth walk behind, one in orange with a rudraksha mala and tilak, and a bare-chested man in a yellow-orange cloth. Two young people in the foreground, one with a sandalwood mark on the forehead. Several onlookers in white and patterned shirts stand at the sides, and a deity murti or glowing lit display sits on a platform in the background.
