Photograph at dusk of a deity murti carried in a procession under a fringed canopy. Two gold-coloured figures stand within a large ornate golden arch topped with a carved makara-style crest, framed by garlands of yellow marigolds, red and white flowers and green leaves. The central figure wears a conical crown and a red and gold garment with a large ornamental pendant, while a second figure beside it wears a blue garment. A hand holds up a brass oil lamp at the left edge, and the blue evening sky, street lamps and a black screen appear behind. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.
