A night procession on a dirt road between dark trees and a red-brown wall. At the centre, a large illuminated Ganesha murti with elephant head, red-and-gold ornaments and raised arms sits on a decorated platform mounted on a tractor with its headlights on. Several people walk alongside: a bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala in the foreground, a woman in a purple sari, men in white dhotis and white shirts, and a woman in green on the left. Some sit or stand on the tractor, and people in the lower right foreground look on. The scene suggests a devotional procession carrying the murti.
