Nighttime procession scene with colourful string lights blurred in the background. Centre, a smiling man in a maroon-red turban and maroon-red robe holds a silver trident aloft; he wears a long green-beaded mala and a pendant. Beside him, a man on the right in dark robes with a shaved head and beaded necklace walks alongside. A figure in white-and-gold cloth stands at the left edge. The appearance of the central figure with his turban, robe, trident and garlands suggests a candidate for a person, shown in a procession role. Greenery and a vehicle are faintly visible behind.

Night procession photographed in darkness with colourful string lights blurred in the background. A central figure in a rust-red turban and rust-red wrap over a saffron-gold garment wears a white and green flower garland, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold pendant necklace, and walks with eyes lowered. Beside and behind him, men in saffron and orange robes carry a tall gold-tipped staff and a silver ceremonial implement, with white ash marks on their foreheads and arms and rudraksha malas on their chests. A man on the right holds the gold staff while wearing white vibhuti lines. The centre figure has distinctive turban, garland and ornament cues, so this is a probable appearance-based candidate for a person, shown in person.

On the right, a man in white dhoti with gold border and a long gold-beaded necklace holds a tall silver staff. Other devotees in white and saffron follow behind under the night sky.
