A figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange head wrap holds a brass aarti lamp with a flame toward two adorned deity murti on a decorated float or palanquin. The murtis wear layered gold and silver jewellery, crowns and garlands of orange and yellow marigolds with white jasmine strands. The canopy is white and the structure is wreathed in white flower strings. A uniformed officer stands near the lower right, and a brass bell is held in the figure's other hand. This appears to be a procession or temple aarti scene.
