Night procession on a dirt path with a row of people in white and off-white dhotis and shirts walking beside ornate, embroidered ceremonial umbrellas in gold, orange and red. A bare-chested man in an orange-yellow dhoti with a white sacred thread and a bare-chested figure with a long rudraksha-style necklace lead the group; several people hold their hands in anjali.
