A night procession under a dense banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. At left, a man in a maroon-red dhoti and shawl, wearing a long gold-beaded necklace and a tilak on his forehead, stands beside a garland of pink, yellow and red flowers. Centre, a palanquin-style canopy with a silver crown-like top and a deity murti decorated with flower garlands is carried forward. Several saffron and maroon-robed men with bare chests and white tilak marks walk alongside, some holding ceremonial silver staffs, a silver umbrella and a silver tray. A photographer's flash and a camera are visible at right.
