Night-time outdoor procession walking along a red-painted low ledge lined with potted saplings and dark foliage. A man in a white dhoti with gold border and bare chest, holding a small red object, walks at left beside a man holding a long pole with a red-fringed umbrella-like canopy. A central man in a saffron-orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala walks forward, with a second saffron-clad man behind him, and a younger man at right in saffron with a rudraksha mala holds a phone. No clear appearance-based a person candidate is established, so identity is left unsure.

A night procession on a paved path under a tree. At centre, a figure in white ceremonial robes and white headwear wears a long garland of red and white flowers and is carried or walked beneath a multicoloured striped parasol on a pole. Around him, many men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, some bare-chested with white body markings, carry staffs and ritual objects while holding hands together in devotion. Women in green, red and orange saris and gold necklaces walk alongside, some with palms pressed together. Strings of lights and green foliage are in the background.
