A night procession on a dark road, lit by street lamps and floodlights. At the top of the frame, large decorated murti figures ride on a float: a multi-armed goddess in red and gold holding weapons, with a lion mount beneath her, and a smaller figure in gold beside her. Many people walk below holding large umbrellas in red, green and dark tones, and red flags flutter over the crowd. Several people in white and saffron-colored clothing walk among the umbrellas. The scene suggests a deity murti procession. Visible people number roughly 21-100, most partially shadowed.
