Night procession on a dirt road: a flatbed trolley decorated with a colourful striped canopy umbrella, pink and gold cloth, and garlands is pulled by devotees dressed in white. A man in white stands on the trolley beside the canopy pole. Women in white and cream saris and men in white dhotis and shirts walk alongside, and a small boy in a red shirt reaches toward the cart. A low white wall with red gates and a corrugated roof is behind them, and a tree branch hangs at the top right. Roughly fifteen to twenty people are visible. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance.
