A golden procession palanquin carries a deity murti decorated with heavy garlands of yellow and red marigolds. The central figure wears a red crown, a tilak on the forehead, multiple strands of jewelled necklaces and a rudraksha-style bead mala, and holds a golden trident-like staff. Two smaller attendant figures flank the central murti, each adorned with yellow and red garlands and jewelled collars. A golden bull or lion-like vahana sits in front, with red silk draping the base. Ornate gilded arches frame the scene at night.
