Night procession with a large illuminated Ganesha murti, pink-white with a gold crown and gold ornaments, seated atop a decorated float with red and orange drapery and a red canopy. Ganesha holds a modak and a gold axe in raised hands. Smoke drifts across the scene, and a torch-like flame glows at left. Dense crowds of devotees in white and orange clothing walk alongside the float beneath dark trees. A small figure in orange sits near the base of the float, but the face is not clearly visible and identity cannot be determined from appearance.
