A night procession float decorated with yellow and red marigolds, white flowers and green leaf garlands, lit by small white lights. Seated at the centre is a golden-toned figure, a statue, wearing an orange-red turban, a layered white jewelled necklace and a large ornate pendant, one hand raised in blessing. A red and gold decorated horse head, with a harness, is in the lower left foreground against a black sky. The statue is an image, not a live person, and no physical people are visible.
