Night procession scene showing a golden palanquin-style shibika carrying a figure dressed in gold and silver ornamentation, with red and white patterned embellishments framing the canopy. The seated figure wears an orange-red head covering and a long orange-and-yellow marigold garland, and is adorned with a silver-toned shoulder ornament. Below stands a silver bull (nandi) figure decorated with a silver headpiece. An ornate golden canopy with colourful tassels in red, purple, yellow and green overhangs the scene. A lit decorative lattice panel and string lights appear in the background. No physical people are clearly visible; the figure is a statue or murti on the procession carriage.
