Night procession on an illuminated float decorated with strings of multicoloured fairy lights, a golden canopy and red-and-orange drapery, with marigold garlands. A seated figure with long dark hair, a crown-like headpiece and a shawl sits on a golden throne-like seat with a leopard-print cushion, hands joined in front of the chest. A person in dark clothing stands beside the float holding a long pole. Golden carved pillars frame the structure, and a onlooker stands at the right edge in white clothing. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the float, identified by long swept hair, a crown, shawl and garlands on the throne.
