Night procession on a dirt path beside green shrubbery, lit by a hand-held oil lamp. A man in white shirt and dhoti raises a red-based oil lamp overhead on the left. Beside him a man in a saffron-orange robe with rudraksha beads walks with hands joined. Behind, men in white dhotis and orange shawls follow. Right of centre, two men carry a flower-decorated palanquin-style deity murti with a gold crown, heavily garlanded with orange and yellow marigolds; one wears a checked shirt and white dhoti, the other a red shirt and green-bordered cloth holding a tray of offerings.
