Evening procession at night with a long crowd of seated devotees behind a golden throne under a multicoloured canopy. A man in a red shawl and rudraksha malas sits on the gold throne, garlanded, hands raised in a gesture while speaking, flanked by a trident-topped staff and a golden staff. In front, shirtless priests in white dhotis and bare-chested men with sacred threads sit on the ground. Marigold and purple-flower garlands drape the decorated float, and string lights line the wall behind a large crowd, with women in pink and orange saris. Two oil lamps and a smoking censer appear near the throne.
