Nighttime street scene in a temple town, with colourful painted houses behind a tiled shelter. A bearded man in a maroon robe, wearing a large white and purple flower garland and a rudraksha mala, smiles at the centre with white tilak on his forehead. To his left, a young man in orange robes holds a golden urn-like vessel. Beside them, a man in an orange shirt and yellow dhoti, and a shaved-headed man in maroon robes with a long bead necklace, stand among devotees. Women in green and orange saris and a crowd of onlookers fill the frame. A watermarked archive photo, the scene suggests a procession. The central figure may match the a person cues of a maroon robe with a garland and mala, so the identity is uncertain.
