Night procession at a temple at dusk, with a lit oil lamp and a decorated deity palanquin glowing at the right under a temple roof. Several saffron-robed sannyasis walk in the centre: one in a bright orange cloth with a gold necklace and bare arms, another in darker orange with rudraksha beads and a gold chain. Men in white dhotis and a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala walk nearby. A uniformed police officer in khaki with a blue-striped cap stands in the foreground, and older men in white shirts line the right edge. Garlands and flower strands hang at left.
