Night procession on a flower-decorated palanquin covered in red and yellow marigold and rose garlands, with strings of lit lamps along its base and silver-toned side posts. A bearded man with a vertical tilak on his forehead, wearing a rudraksha-style mala, a floral garland and ornate gold necklace, sits centrally on the seat beneath a cascade of flowers. A bare-chested attendant in a white turban stands at the left edge, and a young attendant in an orange-saffron garment with a white forehead band and beads stands at the right, hands folded. Peacock feather decorations flank the top. Warm light and dark background suggest a darshan procession.
