Night-time outdoor ritual procession at an open-air temple-style venue lit by string lights and streetlamps. In the centre, a bearded man in a rust-brown robe and a long pink-and-white flower garland walks forward while several people in saffron-orange dhotis with gold borders and beaded necklaces carry offerings. A bare-chested man in orange holds a microphone and a tall ceremonial umbrella, and another carries a wooden tray of pink flower petals, while one man holds a silver vessel. Several men with white and vertical tilak markings and ash on their bodies stand around them. On the right, a bald man in an orange shawl holds a booklet. Many onlookers in white dress stand in the background. Appearance-based candidate for the central robed figure is uncertain, so the a person value is unsure.
