Night procession on a street lit with strings of multicoloured fairy lights. Centre: a golden ratha-style float carrying a gilded deity murti under a gold arched canopy, draped in yellow cloth and garlanded with white and yellow flower garlands. Above it hangs a striped multicoloured umbrella (chhatra). A man in a white dhoti and bare upper body stands at the front holding a large white whisk fan (chamara) toward the deity. Beside him, a man with bare chest and a white dhoti sits on the float near a speaker box. Another float with a lit deity figure appears at the left edge. Yellow shop signs and a fenced edge line the right side.
