A night-time procession walks along a red-carpeted path. At the centre, a person in a dark red garment with gold border wears a crown-like headpiece, a gold pendant necklace, and a long garland of white flowers and orange beads. Around them, several attendants in reddish-orange robes carry a golden staff, a curved golden horn, and a large ceremonial canopy with red, white and yellow trim overhead. A bright light illuminates the scene from behind, and a stage structure is visible in the background.
