Night procession on a muddy dirt road lit by a few headlights and strings of colourful lights. In the foreground a bald man in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha malas, a red tilak and an armband sits on a flatbed cart holding a white sign reading NTV LIVE, with a laptop on the cart showing a live feed. Behind him, a line of people in saffron and red robes carries staffs and colourful umbrellas, with white-clad attendants walking nearby. A decorated float with a golden deity murti and red-and-blue draping sits on the right, and an illuminated float glows in the distance. Identity of the cart rider is uncertain from appearance alone.
