Night procession in a temple courtyard lit by a tall illuminated temple tower in orange, green and gold. A figure in a deep maroon robe with a pink-and-white flower garland, gold necklace and long hair walks centrally, holding a silver staff, flanked by saffron-clad attendants in orange cloth, one holding a lantern and another carrying a tall golden-handled ceremonial umbrella with multicoloured fringe. Attendants in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawls stand to the right, and devotees in orange and white watch from the background. Statues of deities are visible near the tower. The scene reads as a ceremonial procession.
