Night procession outdoors with a group in saffron and orange robes. In the centre, a figure with long swept-back dark hair, a pink and white flower garland, a saffron shawl and an orange dhoti with a gold waistband walks forward; the appearance cues are distinctive but the face and identity are not established, so this is a person candidate in a walking role. Beside him, a shaved-headed monk in orange carries a small framed certificate and a yellow-and-white shield-shaped emblem. Two girls in orange and pink saris hold tall yellow-bordered parasols with embroidered emblems, and a young boy in a green shirt watches. Dark trees and a low building form the background.
