Night procession on a dark rural road, lit by lamps on a decorated vehicle. A figure in saffron/orange robes sits atop an ornate vehicle hung with marigold garlands, colourful tassels and a fringed canopy with striped banners. A long line of people in white and cream clothes, several women in red, orange and blue saffron-and-cream sarees, and children in red and white kurtas walk alongside, some holding lamps. Bamboo fronds and grass frame the right side. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance; treat as an unidentified figure in saffron.
