Night procession on a paved road lined with small illuminated huts. A woman in white with a red-and-white shawl and a lanyard walks in front. Behind her, men in white dhotis with gold borders and red shawls carry a silver tray on their heads, and a man in a white dhoti and red shawl holds up a large umbrella with multicoloured fringe and blue, white and red patterns. A man in a red turban and red robes with a rudraksha mala is shown on a large cutout board carried aloft at the left; this is a depiction on a printed board, not a physical person.
