Night procession photographed behind a wire fence. Three illuminated deity murtis on float-like platforms are carried forward: a multi-armed goddess figure with a trident-like weapon raised, riding a lion, at centre, and two female figures with crowns and lamps to the left. Crowds of people walk in red and white clothing, many holding red and black umbrellas. Dark trees and a red banner form the background. Several people in white dhotis and saffron-red shawls walk near the front, one in a white outfit with a garland. The scene suggests a festival procession, with the illuminated murtis as the focal point.
