Night procession in an outdoor setting with a central man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment and gold border, wearing a long multicolour flower garland of red, yellow and white blooms, a gold ornate necklace with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, a red bindi and white forehead markings, raising one arm while smiling. Around him, saffron-robed devotees carry silver staffs and a trident, and several women with white markings stand nearby. On the right, a bald man in saffron holds a silver tray near a bright flame, with smoke rising. Dark trees and a decorated banner frame the scene. The central figure has distinctive garland, gold necklace and armlet cues and is in a ceremonial role, so a person applies to the centre, with the saffron-robed attendants and tray bearer as devotees.
