Night evening-arati procession on a dirt road at a temple campus. A deity murti is carried on a palanquin-style float under a canopy with a decorative umbrella and two tall yellow-and-red pennant banners. Men in white kurtas and dhotis lead, one playing a brass horn, another beating a drum. A woman in a brown and maroon sari carries a lit flame ahead of the procession, and another woman in a yellow sari walks nearby. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers with an ID lanyard walks alongside. Overhead, a glow from distant lights, with a building edge at right.
