Night procession on a decorated float carrying a large, richly ornamented clay murti of a multi-armed goddess, identified by iconography as Durga, standing on a lion. Her many hands hold weapons, with a spear extended forward, and she wears a jeweled crown, yellow garlands and a red and gold sari. Beside her is a dark blue figure with a fierce face and bared teeth, and a second deity murti stands in the background. In front of the float, a man in white clothing wearing white and orange flower garlands stands on the platform, holding a metal trident-like staff topped with a trident. A golden trident stands on the left, and people in dark clothing line the street below in the dark.
