Night procession at a Hindu temple, lit by string lights on an arched frame. A large gilded vahana, a golden bull-like mount with a decorated head and flower garlands, dominates the centre beneath a red and yellow canopy. A standing man in a white shirt watches at left, a bare-chested young man in an orange cloth stands nearby, and a priest in white and orange sits beside the mount. Crowd members in the foreground include a man with white hair and a man with a tilak. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible among the figures.
