Night outdoor festival scene under a open-sided pavilion with orange and red fabric draped overhead and string lights along the top edge. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts carry a tall grey palanquin or statue-like figure on poles, walking across sandy ground. Dark-robed musicians in orange and brown garments play long wind instruments on the left, and a bright spotlight illuminates the figure. A crowd of onlookers in white clothing stands behind a rope barrier. No identifiable visible a person in person; the central figure is a sculpted or draped image rather than a clearly recognizable person.
