Night procession photographed with flash and torchlight. A central man in an orange saffron robe and long rudraksha mala with hands pressed together in namaste walks forward with a downcast, smiling expression, his long dark hair falling past his shoulders. Around him, men in white dhotis and white shirts with orange scarves hold hands together in prayer, and one holds a lit oil lamp on a brass plate while another carries a brass bell. A tall torch flame burns at left, and a lit ceremonial structure with ornate golden elements appears in the background. The scene conveys a devotional procession at night.
