A night street procession in Varanasi moves along a narrow road lined with shops and signboards, including a sign reading "Shri Kashi Vishwanath" style Hindi text and a red LUX advertisement. Roughly a dozen people walk in a line wearing white dhoti and sari with gold-bordered or red-and-gold shawls, rudraksha malas and garlands. A woman in an orange sari with gold border walks at the right edge. One man in a green kurta and white dhoti walks at the far left. Several figures carry or wear ceremonial garlands and walk barefoot in ritual style.
