Night photograph of a procession on a pale open ground. Several men in saffron-orange dhotis, several bare-chested, carry tall silver staffs with ornate finials, some topped with silver ornaments. A man in a white dhoti with broad golden-yellow borders and a white upper cloth walks in the middle. Behind them, a man in white and a figure in maroon cloth stand near string lights and a bright floodlight, with a stone wall to the left. Several people are visible in the frame; the figures are mid-stride, with some turning slightly toward the camera.
