Night photograph of a walking procession along a dirt path beside a red-and-white painted low wall. In front, a man in an orange saffron shawl and orange cloth, with long swept-back hair and a bare-chested upper body, walks forward. Behind him, two men in white kurta-style clothes with orange shawls walk; one holds a small torch or light. A man in white with an orange shawl is partly visible at the right edge. Dark trees and bushes fill the background. The front figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, but the image is dark and blurred, so the identity is uncertain.

Dusk procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees and a low brick wall, with a group of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees walking together. Foreground, a woman in orange sari with a red border and a gold necklace carries a white object. Next to her a white-robed man walks barefoot with a white shawl. A man in orange robes with a long rudraksha mala walks at the centre, and at the right edge a bearded man in brown-orange robes carries an orange cloth bag. Several volunteers in white shirts with lanyards line the background.
