Night procession on a dirt road lined with devotees in plain white dhotis and shirts holding long-handled umbrellas. Several umbrellas are colourful with red, green and yellow borders, tassels and a bird emblem; others are gold-tinted parasols. Devotees carry flames or lamps, and a figure in orange robes walks at the centre of the procession toward the distant light. A lamp-lit path leads forward between the rows of people. The scene is an outdoor religious procession at night.
