Night procession on a stone-paved path lined with red earth banks and strings of multicoloured lights. Four musicians lead in white dhotis and white shirts: a drummer with a barrel drum slung at his side on the left, two wind players playing long brass horns, and a man on the right carrying a large frame drum. Behind them, several people in white and cream traditional dress follow, and a lit stage with a red flag and colourful illuminations stands in the background. The scene is lit by floodlights, with long shadows cast on the stones.
