Night photograph of a temple procession vehicle dominated by a silver-plated bull (Nandi) mount, its head and neck draped in yellow, orange and red marigold garlands and green leaves. A large ornate silver canopy decorated with pink and multicoloured embroidered panels and heart-shaped motifs covers the vehicle. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a green border stands at the left holding the vehicle, and another man in a striped shirt and white dhoti works at the right side. A small flame glows near the base and a bright lamp is visible on a pole. The scene suggests a Panchamurti procession vehicle with a deity-bearing ratha. No a person candidate is clearly visible among the people shown.
