Night procession photograph in near darkness. Two large illuminated Ganesha murtis, painted in red, orange and blue with golden crowns, are carried or displayed on platforms along a road. The central murti is raised high above the crowd, lit from within. Several people in orange and white clothing walk beside and around the figures, and a crowd of onlookers stands in the shadows on the left and right. A smaller lit Ganesha idol sits on a cart at the far right, attended by a figure in orange. The scene suggests a Ganesha festival procession with deity murtis carried through the streets at night.
