Night procession on a dirt road beside an orange-painted wall and palm trees. A decorated vehicle, a tractor-style cart draped in flower garlands and banana-leaf stalks, is followed by a palanquin with a colourful striped canopy and an ornate deity murti. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti holding a staff walks near the palanquin, and another man in a white dhoti carries a flower garland. A girl in a pink floral dress and maroon leggings walks in the foreground, with women in saris and onlookers in the background. The scene is lit by a few street lamps and headlights.
