Night photograph of an outdoor temple procession on a dirt ground under floodlights. A decorated cart with a blue platform carries a large illuminated deity murti of a rider on a horse, with a fire burning at its base. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk and stand around the cart, and a row of women in saris stands at the right edge beside a grey-haired man in a dark jacket. A small fire pit with flames sits in the foreground at left. Yellow garlands hang on the cart's motorcycle-style wheel and a man in a red-and-maroon garment stands near the cart.
