Night outdoor scene on a wide pale ground at an illuminated ashram site. Several figures in orange-red robes stand in a group at left near flaming torches on tall poles. In the centre a gilded wheeled cart or ratha carries a dark ornate seat with a golden lion-like figure, possibly a peetha or throne, with no clearly visible occupant. Fireworks spray sparks in the air and a bright street lamp glows above. Behind them, a multi-storey building is decorated with colourful lights in green, blue and red, and a bus is parked at right. Smoke drifts across the scene.
