Outdoor evening procession scene on a grassy field. A decorated golden ratha or palanquin-shrine with a deity murti garlanded in marigold and red flowers stands on an orange cloth. A seated man in white dhoti and white shirt with a light turban and gold-bead necklace performs a ritual near the base of the shrine, with a brass plate and lamp before him. Around him devotees in white clothes, a woman in a white sari with gold border, a girl in a red checked top, and men in white shirts gather. A purple sash with white lettering is held by a man at left. Buildings and trees are in the background.
