Night procession at a temple path lined with paving stones. In the centre, a large colourful Ganesha murti with a golden crown and red-and-yellow decoration is carried high on a palanquin. Around it, women in orange-red saris play drums and a long brass horn, while men in white dhotis with gold borders walk bare-chested, some with tilak marks on their foreheads. A yellow canopy with beaded silver fringe stands at the left edge, and dark trees and a lit wall frame the scene.
