A dim, green-lit night procession in a crowded open space. Several performers in elaborate headdresses with feathers, tall pink and purple crowns, and jewelled costumes dance among drummers and onlookers. Some performers have green and yellow painted bodies and carry staffs or wear mask-like faces. A large orange parasol with a small portrait medallion is visible at the upper left. Seated spectators line the left edge in colourful saris and salwar kameez. A green-clad dancer in a sari with gold border and red blouse, arms raised, is centre frame. The scene appears to be a ceremonial dance procession with drums.
