Evening procession at dusk on a dirt path lit by a single street lamp. Many people in saffron-orange robes walk in two lines, some carrying tall ceremonial staffs or poles. Toward the right, a line of monastics in orange clothes stands near a palm-leaf canopy, and a large ornate umbrella or parasol with a decorated top is held aloft among them. Strings of green fairy lights hang behind the group. A large information board stands at the left with a map and text. Palm trees and a banana plant frame the scene.
