Night procession on a dirt road lit by hand-held torches. At centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe, a tall white conical headdress and a beaded necklace sits cross-legged on a gold-trimmed wheeled cart, tending small ritual items on a cloth. Behind him stands a decorated deity murti in an arched shrine framed with yellow marigold and red flower garlands, beneath a striped canopy umbrella. Two men in white dhotis carry flaming torches, and others in white and gold-yellow clothing walk alongside. A printed sign reading Gho-sh is partly visible behind the cart.
