Night procession on a decorated palanquin covered with white and red flower garlands, tassels and strings of marigolds. A seated figure with a tall dark turban-style headdress, red-orange robes and a yellow-and-white garland waves and smiles from the open carriage. A standing attendant in red-brown clothing holds a long pole beside the carriage, and bright lights illuminate the floral structure. Partially visible people stand along the lower edge of the frame.
