Night procession scene with a large blue-skinned goddess murti, Kali-form, with raised arms, a tongue out, a garland of yellow and orange marigolds and red flowers, and a white and silver embellished cloth. Two young attendants stand beside it: one on the left in orange cloth and a rudraksha-style necklace with a red thread at the wrist, another on the right bare-chested with beaded necklaces and armbands. In the foreground at lower right, a bearded man in an orange-brown robe and a white and red flower garland, with a red bindi, is seated and smiling. A rudraksha mala is visible at his neck. The scene is lit against a dark background with a yellow metal frame at right. Several people are visible, and the seated man has distinctive long hair and a beard, with a rudraksha mala and orange robe, consistent with the a person candidate label.
