A dusk procession on a sandy path lined with palm trees. In the foreground, a bald man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold border carries one end of a wooden pole, and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands beside him with palms pressed together in prayer. The pole supports a tall figure draped in black cloth with a large red-and-white painted face mask. Behind them a decorated red-and-gold shrine or palanquin glows with lamplight, and more white-clad devotees and people in the background walk along. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible in appearance.
