Night procession scene on a sandy ground with warm lamplight and strong shadows. A woman in a red-orange turban, gold-beaded necklace, gold armband and red-and-gold saffron draped garment stands centre-left, facing right, with a faint smile. Beside her to the right, a bald man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered cloth over his shoulder and a rudraksha mala presses his palms together at his chest. Behind them, other devotees in red and orange robes and a woman in a green sari stand with palms joined. Several people in the foreground are seen from behind, and a man in white shirt with a lanyard stands at right. The page does not identify who the centre figure is from appearance; the cues are a turban, gold necklace and saffron clothing, but identity is not established.
