Night photograph of a festival procession on a wheeled wooden cart pulled by a red tractor on the left. On the cart, a golden shrine arch framing a deity murti, adorned with garlands of yellow and orange marigolds and a purple garland, sits atop a golden bull (Nandi) with a tall tail. A yellow and multicoloured canopy hangs above. A seated man in white dhoti and white upper cloth sits cross-legged on the cart's platform near the bull. Dark tarpaulin covers the tractor's trailer, where a few people sit in shadow. Lit strings of lights and a lit temple tower appear in the background.
