Night photograph of a festival float. A large painted figure of a lion-faced deity with open fanged jaws and a teal-skinned, many-armed deity murti dominates the top, draped in red, pink and gold fabric and yellow-and-orange marigold garlands. In front, a smiling man with a shaved head and a red-orange cloth wrap sits on the float wearing a multicolour garland, with a red-orange tilak on his forehead, rudraksha-style beads and a gold chain. A darkened silhouette of another person stands in the foreground, and a dark vehicle with lights is at the bottom edge. The scene suggests a procession. a person appearance is uncertain.
