Night procession on a sandy open ground lit by lamps and string lights. In the foreground, several men in white dhotis and shirts carry a tall wooden palanquin-style frame on poles, with a pale figure of a deity-like form seated upon it. Behind them, a illuminated bull-mounted Shiva-style murti with a lit base stands on a wooden cart, and white-clad devotees walk alongside. Tents with red and green string lights and a few standing people in white line the background.
