A night photograph of a dirt path lined on both sides by children and young people in dark clothing, many holding hands to form a human chain. On the left, girls wear maroon and red dresses with gold trim; on the right, boys wear dark tops and some have shaved heads. At the centre of the path, a procession moves away from the camera: several figures in white robes walk behind two people in deep red clothing, one holding a tall saffron-coloured banner on a pole. Tall bare trees and a brick wall frame the scene under a dark sky with a moon.
