A nighttime procession at a dark outdoor site, lit by a purple-pink glow over scattered petals on the ground. A large colourful Durga-style deity murti rides on a decorated tractor trailer, with a lion mount beneath her and many raised arms holding weapons. Several people in saffron-orange and red robes walk beside and atop the float, one standing near the tractor's front wheel, while others in white and multicoloured saris stand at the edges. Garlands and flowers decorate the figure, and the scene reflects a Vijaya Dashami procession.
