Night outdoor procession scene. On the left, a decorated palanquin or ratha with a deity murti is lit by flaming torches held by people in white clothes. Several torch bearers in white stand in front of it. A large crowd in white and saffron-toned clothing stands behind a line at the right under a tent. In the foreground right, a dark-clothed figure stands near a burning fire pit with sparks flying, and a bright spotlight shines across the scene. Strings of coloured lights hang from the canopy. The people shown are roughly a crowd of several dozen, mostly partly visible at the edges of the frame.
