Night photograph of a large Ganesha murti with grey-pink skin, gold crown, gold ornaments and green bangles, raising hands and holding a golden goad, on a decorated float. Two young men in orange robes and orange turbans stand and sit on the float beside it. One stands holding a long gold-topped staff with a white fringed fan; the other sits cross-legged holding a blue sequined umbrella with a gold pole, wearing rudraksha-style beads. A printed cutout portrait of a smiling man in orange robes and red turban, seated with raised palms, is placed in front of them. A striped cloth covers the platform, and a small monitor sits on it. Three people are visible.
