Night procession scene with a figure in the foreground seen from behind and in profile, wearing a tall gold cylindrical crown, a red flower garland, a saffron-toned shawl and rudraksha-style beaded bracelets. The figure raises one arm toward hanging tassels in red, yellow, blue and orange, and gold-and-silver ornaments. Marigold garlands hang at left beside a lit lamp glow. Behind, a crowd stands in the dark street under street lights and shop signs. The gold crown, tassels and garlands suggest a temple or ratha procession setting.
