Night procession on a stone-paved courtyard with bright lights and drifting haze. A bearded man in a maroon-brown robe with a white-pink flower garland stands at the centre holding a silver staff, flanked by a man in orange cloth with a long gold staff. Behind them a large crowd of people in orange and saffron garments, many carrying ornate orange and red umbrellas and a yellow banner on a pole. Some men have white body markings and bare torsos wrapped in orange cloth; a few women wear rudraksha-style beads and gold necklaces. A man in white stands at the right edge.
