Night procession photographed on a dark road with illuminated decorated vehicles. On the left, a tall ornate float with colourful string lights and red and green lamps carries figures under a canopy, and a standing attendant in a red-orange garment holds a white fan-like whisk. Further along, a second decorated float with a golden arched frame and draped fabric follows. On the right, several people in white and light clothing walk beside red and orange umbrellas, and bright floodlights light the scene. A blurred dark silhouette occupies the foreground. Prayer flags and fringed banners hang from poles above the floats.
