A night procession at a decorated palanquin, lit by warm lamps and bordered by flower garlands in orange and yellow. A standing figure in the central frame wears an orange turban and ornate garland, appearing to be a person on the palanquin, with appearance-based cues (turban and garlanded ornaments) but the face is too dark and small to confirm identity. Gold ceremonial umbrellas and dark silhouettes of onlookers surround the scene. Strings of marigolds and tassels hang from the golden carriage structure.
