Night procession on a paved path with a dark sky and green fireworks sparking overhead. A man in a white dhoti with gold border and a red shoulder bag walks at the front, leaning on a cane. Behind him, people in orange and red saffron garments follow, some bare-chested with rudraksha-style adornments. A red-and-orange umbrella is held aloft near a tractor-drawn vehicle with a canopy, where a figure in white sits. Devotees in white and orange move along the route, with street lights and a lit building in the background.
