A night photograph of a procession vehicle lit against a black background. A white bull figure with blue-and-gold harness trappings stands on a gold draped platform, carrying two small deity figures, one red-clad, under a sparkling crystal-fringed canopy on an orange pole. White jasmine garlands hang from the bull and the figures. Dark silhouetted shapes of people are barely visible at the lower edges.
