Night procession at a temple-style outdoor event. A central figure in a deep red-orange turban and matching robe, wearing a multi-strand flower garland in red, white and green and a rudraksha-style mala, walks with palms pressed together in namaste while a gold-embroidered red umbrella is held over him by an attendant in maroon garments. Several people in red and maroon saris and robes stand behind and beside him, some with hands folded; others in white kurtas and dhotis stand in the background. A string of red, green and white lights glows along the right edge against the dark sky.
