Night procession on a dark outdoor path with bright floodlights and lit buildings behind. In the centre, a smiling man with a red bindi and long swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange garment with gold border and a long rudraksha mala with a large ceremonial pendant, walking forward and gesturing with his right hand. Beside him, a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold border and rudraksha beads walks, and a bright flashlight is held by a man in white shirt behind. Women in saffron and orange saris with rudraksha malas and a woman in white kurta with arms folded stand among the crowd on the right, with other devotees in orange and white around them. The centre figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial pendant, so an appearance-based candidate is present, though the setting makes this uncertain.

At the far left, a man in white with an orange cloth over his shoulder walks barefoot and an older man in a white shirt and trousers carries a white cloth.
