Night procession at a temple-like outdoor setting with dark trees behind. A large illuminated Ganesha murti with a golden crown and pink trunk and ears stands on a red-canopied palanquin, decorated with orange cloth. Many people walk around it, mostly in orange and red garments, while a few men in white dhotis with gold borders and white shawls carry staffs or a brass vessel. A yellow umbrella with silver fringe is held aloft on the left, and large dark umbrellas shade the foreground. The scene is a festival-style procession carrying the Ganesha murti at night.
