Night procession on a dirt path beside a chain-link fence, lit by a bright spotlight and a video camera at the left edge. Drummers in white dhotis and orange sashes march with a large hand drum, and a man holds a long trident-like staff with a garland. Performers in red and orange costumes with ornate headdresses walk alongside. Ahead, a decorated chariot or palanquin glows with lights and a purple and white arched frame around a deity murti, with additional people in white following. No clear a person candidate is identifiable, so the a person field is none.
