A nighttime street procession moves through a crowded Indian town under a large green tarpaulin canopy strung on poles. Many people walk along the road in mixed white and light clothing; a few figures near the left wear white kurtas with saffron or orange shawls draped over their shoulders. A young girl in a blue floral dress holds hands with an adult in the centre. Bright white lights and strings of electric wires overhead illuminate the scene, and a white domed shrine structure with a decorative sign stands in the background. A blue-lit sign reads in Hindi. The overall atmosphere is a devotional crowd walking in a street procession after dark.
