Night procession outdoors. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron shawl over a bare shoulder and a gold-bead necklace, walks at the centre while holding his hand to his chest. Behind him, a bearer in white dhoti holds a tall wooden staff topped with a gold finial and an orange fringed ceremonial banner with embroidered red and blue emblem. Several people in white traditional clothing, including women in white saris with coloured borders, follow along. A cameraman in a white kurta with a yellow scarf films the procession. A blue banner and a red brick building appear in the background under yellow lights.
