A dark night procession scene where a small illuminated shrine or palanquin with carved wooden pillars and a lit interior is carried forward, its lamp glowing warmly. Several people in pale or light clothing stand and walk around it, mostly in silhouette, with a few lamps and a spotlit patch of ground in the foreground. The scene appears to be an outdoor temple or ashram procession at night.
