A photograph of a dense night crowd at a procession, mostly devotees dressed in white with red shoulder cloths (angavastram) and orange-red sashes, some wearing rudraksha malas. In the centre, a man in a white shirt with an orange-red cloth over his shoulder raises one hand high, while people around him press close. Other devotees carry red banners and poles overhead, and a woman at right wears glasses and an orange cord. The scene suggests a procession in progress, though no deity or a person is clearly visible.
