Night procession on a dirt ground in front of a dark tree line. On a raised pink-draped platform, a seated figure in a red turban and white garland sits on an ornate gold throne under a multicoloured canopy with a golden staff. Nearby a bare-chested attendant in an orange dhoti stands beside the platform. In the foreground, young drummers in orange robes and rudraksha malas play drums, one with a leopard-print drum cover, while others in orange and blue-green kurtas carry long poles and walk in the procession toward the throne.
