Night procession at Adi Kailash Aadheenam under a dark blue sky with a bright moon at upper left. In the foreground a man seen from behind wears a dark blue turban, a red-brown garment and gold armbands, standing beside a microphone stand. Ornate white silver palanquins and shrines with flower garlands stand in the procession, and at right several large deity murtis wear yellow and red garlands. A digital clock in the lower left reads 08:38 PM. Tall grasses and a tree fill the right side. The scene suggests a Thaipusam-style festival procession, though the man's appearance does not establish identity.
