Night-time outdoor procession at an open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof and hanging coloured tassels. Blue and orange ceremonial umbrellas with fringed edges are carried above a group walking across a paved courtyard. Several men in saffron and orange robes walk in the procession; a bare-chested man with a garland of white flowers and a rust-coloured dhoti stands in the foreground. A man in white dhoti and shirt holds a brass vessel; a young girl in orange follows. Drummers in red and orange clothing play drums at right. A decorated deity murti with a blue face and flower garlands sits on a raised platform at left, with rose petals scattered on the floor. Nothing in the scene establishes a person's presence, so no identification is made.
