A night procession scene with a painted white and blue bull vehicle (nandi) in the foreground, its face decorated with red and gold trim and a gold-edged harness. Behind it on a wooden platform sits a metallic bronze deity murti in white dhoti with a gold-edged cloth, a jeweled crown, gold necklace, rudraksha mala garlands, and raised hands holding ritual objects. Beside it, a smaller seated bronze figure wears a red and gold sari with jewelry. String lights in red, green and blue hang overhead under a canopy. No living people are visible; the figures are statues.
