A night procession on a dirt road beside a red brick wall with green shrubs. At the front, a man with a shaved head and a white tilaka wears a dark maroon dhoti and holds a long ceremonial staff topped with a bright multicolored canopy umbrella fringed with tassels. Beside him, a woman in a maroon sari with a yellow border and a head wrap holds a ceremonial staff and clasps her hands in anjali mudra, wearing gold ornaments and garlands. Behind them, a line of devotees in white and cream clothes stand with palms pressed together, and an elderly man in a light shirt at the far right also folds his hands. The canopy reads Dhyanapeetam. Lamps light the scene.
