A night photograph of a procession walking along a sandy, dug-up path beside a tree whose pale branches are lit from the left. Many people in white clothing walk in a long column; several women wear orange or red saris and a few men wear dark shirts. The background is dark with a faint row of lights in the distance and a thin overhead wire. No individual can be reliably identified, so the figures are described by clothing and role as procession participants.

In the foreground a bare-chested man in an orange cloth wrap walks toward the camera, with dark swept-back hair and a ceremonial marking on his forehead; the page notes a person at this event, but his appearance alone is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm, so he is described by role as a devotee in orange. Behind him several people in white clothes and orange shawls walk in procession, one woman in white carrying a small lit oil lamp, and another person carries a red cloth bag. A red-painted mound or offering area with stones is visible in the background near a dim lamp glow.2006-12-10A night-time walk across a dusty reddish-brown open ground, lit by small torches and phone lights held by several people.
