Night procession photographed from the crowd. A man with long dark hair and a beard stands on a silver palanquin decorated with a silver canopy, a garland of multicoloured tassels in red, orange, yellow, green and blue, and gold foliage. He wears a saffron-orange garment with red and white cloth draped over his shoulder, a floral garland, and a gold armband. He holds a red-and-yellow handheld fan or flagged rod. Dense crowds in the foreground raise their arms toward the palanquin, and a brick building stands behind on the left under a dark sky.
