A night procession moves along a road lit by sodium street lamps, with devotees in white dhotis and saffron-orange shawls carrying tall orange flags and ceremonial staffs. In the centre, a large banner shows a figure in orange robes with arms raised, with a painted scene beneath and a Devanagari inscription at the top. Tall striped poles with blue, red and yellow panels and white dove emblems stand beside it. A devotee in a white kurta with a rudraksha-style mala leads near the front, and a man in a green sweater watches from the right. An elephant draped in a beige embroidered cloth appears at the far right edge, and a deity murti on a decorated float is visible at the left.
