A night procession features a large, brightly coloured Ganesha murti with an elephant head, a jewelled crown, and a tall finial, seated atop a vehicle decorated with an orange and blue lion-like mount. Two attendants in saffron and yellow dhotis flank the idol; one leans in to adjust it. In the lower right, a man with a shaved head and orange clothing wears a garland of marigolds and sits beside the float. Dark foliage and a metal scaffold rise behind the illuminated figure, and a crowd is partly visible at the bottom edge.
