A night procession along a paved street lit by a single streetlamp. A line of men in white dhotis and white shirts walks beside red flags on poles at left, while several large ceremonial umbrellas are carried overhead: a red one with gold trim and mirrored fringe, a magenta one with silver sequins, and a yellow one with gold-coloured edging. Behind the umbrellas, devotees in saffron and orange garments and white clothing press forward, some with hands folded in namaskar. The scene reads as a ratha-style procession through an ashram lane, with no clearly identifiable individual leading it.
