A night-time procession under pink and red stage lighting. Several young men in saffron-orange robes play drums; one in the foreground beats a hand drum, another plays a large bass drum with a mallet, and a figure at left holds a long wind instrument. Beaded rudraksha-style malas hang on their chests, and some wear orange turbans. Behind them, orange-clad devotees and an umbrella with sparkling decorations suggest a ceremonial procession. No individual can be confirmed as a person from appearance, so no a person candidate is identified.
