Night procession photographed from behind a large orange multi-armed deity murti with a flame-like crown and a long dark wig, its hands raised with bangles and a flag-like object. Around it, a crowd of men in white dhotis, some bare-chested with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, walks beside performers in green and gold costumes. Bright blue and white stage lights, a red flag, string lights and colourful hanging decorations frame the scene under a tent roof.
