Night procession on open ground lit by harsh spotlights. A red Massey Ferguson-style tractor with a teal canopy pulls an ornate gold-and-red float bearing a deity murti under a decorated canopy, with a lit lamp at its side. Two women in white saris and an older woman in orange walk holding tall orange and red ceremonial umbrellas and banners. Men in white dhotis and saffron-orange clothing walk alongside, and a man in a grey shirt with white dhoti and an orange shawl walks at the float's edge carrying a lamp. A group of saffron-robed devotees follows the float to the right. Procession, ratha, night festival.
