Night procession at a temple-like setting with a bright torch flame held aloft by a bare-chested young man wearing a rudraksha mala and orange-saffron cloth. Around him, drummers in orange and white dhotis play large hand drums while other participants in saffron garments and beaded necklaces walk among colourful umbrellas (purple, blue, and pink) carried on poles. Behind them, an illuminated deity murti or decorated shrine glows in the dark. Trees frame the night scene and the path is lit by the flames and lamps.
