Night procession at an ashram road with four decorated palanquins carried on red Massey Ferguson 1035 DI tractors, each tractor with a driver in casual jacket. Each palanquin has an ornate gold canopy with red, yellow and green fringed edges and a golden frame over a red backdrop, holding gilded deity murtis adorned with garlands. Bright stage lights and strings of multicolored lights glow behind, with smoke in the air. Two white-clad attendants stand beside the palanquins.
