Night-time procession with devotees carrying ornate umbrellas on poles. Teal, pink and red canopies trimmed with mirror-work and silver embellishments are raised above the crowd, with a small figure of a deity murti or statue on top of the teal canopy. Participants wear white and grey ceremonial clothing, some bare-chested with sacred threads, and a woman in a white outfit with a mala stands among them. Stage lights and coloured lights glow in the background, with a crowd filling the lower frame.

Some women in saffron, green and blue saris stand at the edges. A yellow bus is visible behind the crowd.
