Night procession at a temple-style festival: an illuminated deity murti under a golden arched canopy with a colourful fringed umbrella sits on a decorated cart. The murti has green drapery and garlands, flanked by two attendant figures. A woman in white kneels or sits at the base of the cart, and a line of people in saffron and orange clothing follows along the street beside a multi-storey red building with air conditioners. A small vehicle with a blue canopy is in the foreground.
