Evening procession on a wet paved path before a temple gopuram-style shrine with a lit golden deity murti in its niche. A caparisoned elephant with a red and white cloth walks on the left, and two lit umbrella-like canopies or ornate lamps stand beside a glowing gold palanquin or ratha. Devotees in white dhotis, saris, and kurtas walk along the path; a bald man in a blue dhoti and shirt walks at right. Lamp light reflects on the wet ground. No one clearly appears to be a person, so no candidate is identified.
