A night street procession at a temple. In the centre, a figure in a saffron-orange wrap and turban, with a long white and red flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, stands amid a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis, several wearing orange shawls. Men on the left and right reach out with hands extended toward him. Behind them an ornate golden palanquin or canopy shrine with red and gold drapes holds a deity murti decorated with garlands. White and orange flags and a string of lights are visible overhead. The figure is a candidate for the a person by appearance cues: orange turban and wrap, ceremonial garland and beads, presented with honour amid devotees; the image is uncertain, so the field is unsure.
