A night procession on a paved road lit by bright floodlights and a glowing illuminated chariot in the background. A central figure in a maroon-red robe with a long multicoloured flower garland walks forward while a person in a dark maroon robe holds a large ornate silver-and-black parasol above them. Around them a crowd in white and red-maroon clothing with red shawls walks along, and red-robed devotees line the right side. The scene suggests a ratha/chariot procession at night.
