Outdoor photograph of a large painted deity murti on a decorated float, a fierce figure with a lion-like face, open mouth and crown, holding a club and a trident-like staff, wearing red, green and gold armour. Green leafy branches frame the figure. In front, a bare-chested priest in orange-saffron cloth with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace stands before a red-and-white striped cloth draped over the float, holding a long golden staff. A second attendant in orange stands at the right edge, and a distant person in white walks across the grassy field. Flat grey overcast sky, dirt and grass ground, trees and fencing in the background.
