A night procession on a dirt road beside a red brick wall, with trees and shrubs behind. At left, a man in a dark robe and white shirt holds a long multicoloured parasol-style canopy with fringed tassels, its panels reading Dhyana Peetam. Beside him a woman in a maroon sari with a gold-yellow border and a gold necklace stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, a maroon head wrap on her head. Behind them a line of women in cream and beige saris, a white churidar-style outfit and a white sari stand with hands folded in prayer, forming a respectful row. A woman in a dark maroon sari at far right also holds her palms together. The scene is lit by a flash against the darkness.
