A nighttime outdoor scene of a festive display of painted clay murtis. On the left, an elephant-headed Ganesha with a pink face and multiple arms stands beside a decorated parasol with a tassel. Centre, a multi-armed goddess with a red-and-white crown and a fierce face rides a seated lion, surrounded by smaller white lace-decorated deity figures with garlands. Gold oil lamps stand in the foreground beside brass plates of offerings, and a string of coloured lights glows behind. No living people are visible.
