Night procession on a dirt road lit by a bright floodlight. Many devotees in saffron and orange dhotis and robes dance energetically, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas and gold chains; one man with long dreadlocks bends forward with arms outstretched, and a child in a teal kurta stands at left. Ornate orange and gold ceremonial umbrellas and processional standards rise above the crowd, and a red tractor with a canopy stands at right. Strings of coloured lights decorate the background. A few men in white dhotis watch from the crowd.
