A night-time outdoor procession on a sandy ground lit by strings of multicoloured fairy lights in the background. A shaved-headed man in an orange dhoti with a red border and beaded necklaces walks in the foreground, bare-shouldered with an arm band, while devotees surround him. Many women wear white, cream and gold saris or orange and red garments, and a woman in front in a gold-bordered sari and a dark-red shawl presses her palms together in anjali. A decorated umbrella with a red and multicoloured canopy is held over a group of ceremonial figures in orange near the centre. Around thirty people are visible.
