A deity murti on a silver palanquin is heavily decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses, white flowers and green leaves, with pink-and-green parrot ornaments attached. The metal-faced murti wears a tall jewelled crown and a gold-and-white ornamented costume with a Vaishnava urdhva pundra on the forehead. Behind it, two men stand in the dark: one wears an orange dhoti and a rudraksha-style neck garland, another wears white ritual cloth and a bare chest, while a figure in orange clothing stands at the left edge. The scene appears to be a night procession. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.
