Evening procession with a gilded ratha-style palanquin carried along a road, decorated with pink and orange flower garlands, a green-red-white striped canopy with tassels, golden finials and a kalasha-like top. A figure seated on the golden throne-like seat wears a red garment and a flower garland, with attendants in orange and saffron robes standing beside and behind, one holding a trident-like staff. Crowds of devotees in white dhotis and shirts walk around the vehicle, a child in a green striped shirt is in front, and a yellow auto-rickshaw is at right. String lights line the canopy frame under a dusky sky. Visible people are numerous, so this is a large crowd. The seated figure's identity is uncertain from appearance.
