A night procession on a stone-paved path lit by floodlights, shaded by a multicoloured canopy on a tall pole and an orange umbrella. On the right, a man with a garland of red and green flowers and an ornate gold pendant holds his hands in anjali, wearing a brown-and-red cloth. Behind him, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a red shawl holds a long handled ceremonial item, while others in orange and white robes walk in line, one carrying a tray. A trident-shaped standard and an orange-and-gold decorated palanquin pole appear in the background, with potted plants along the edge. The scene suggests a temple or ashram festival procession.
