Night procession on a paved road: a brightly lit deity murti or utsava image sits under a fringed canopy on a decorated vehicle, lit gold and warm, draped in red and white cloth with garlands. A tractor-like vehicle pulls the float. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk alongside, some holding black umbrellas, with a crowd standing behind. Buildings with lights form the background.
