A night procession scene. A long-haired man with a beard and a white tilak on his forehead sits smiling under a silver canopy decorated with multicoloured tassels in red, green, yellow, orange and blue, hung with gold tassel trims. He wears a rust-brown robe, a gold necklace, a pink-and-white floral garland over one shoulder and a gold armband. Golden artificial foliage surrounds the canopy. Behind him stand other people and a red and gold umbrella, with a person holding up a phone. The dark background suggests evening. A small figure on the right is partly visible. a person identification is based only on appearance cues: the long hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-brown clothing, but the image is uncertain.
