Night procession with a crowd of drummers and performers beside a roadway, many holding small drums and some swinging flaming torches or wicks that leave bright orange streaks. A figure in dark clothing kneels in the foreground on the pavement. Above the crowd, red and ornate umbrellas or parasols are carried, and strings of blue and green fairy lights hang along the route. A purple stage light glows at left. Some performers wear white robes, others dark or bright costumes, and a few have headdresses. No individual can be confidently identified as the a person from appearance.
