Night procession seen from an elevated angle along a stone-paved path lit by coloured lights. Dozens of devotees walk in a dense column, many in orange and saffron clothing, while others wear white and pastel dresses. Many carry large umbrellas in red, orange, blue, yellow and purple, and several hold tall red flags. At the upper right, an ornately decorated chariot with a golden, illuminated canopy and a deity murti is pulled forward, with vehicles and a palanquin-style decorated structure beside it. Orange portable toilet cabins stand at the left edge, and palm trees frame the scene.
