Night procession photographed from a raised, decorated vehicle. In the foreground a person wearing an ornate gold and jewelled crown with blue and purple tassels, white and orange flower garlands around the neck, and a rudraksha-style bead bracelet raises one hand toward a tall colourful ceremonial staff topped with a gold kalasha-like finial, yellow and pink tassels and marigold garlands. Crowds line the illuminated road behind, with banners and street lights in the background. A brass lamp and red cushions rest on the vehicle. The person's face is partly cut off, and the appearance cues are insufficient to name anyone, so no identification is made.
