A night procession moves along a dirt path, lit by torches. Several bearers carry ceremonial umbrellas and banners on tall poles; the largest umbrella is red and multicoloured with tassels and a printed emblem. Many participants in white and cream clothing walk with hands folded in prayer. A woman in a light blue-and-white sari walks at right near an older man in a white shirt and glasses. Some people wear white and beige robes and necklaces. Several people appear to be in procession, though no figure in the frame is clearly identifiable as a person.
