A nighttime street procession passes beneath a concrete overpass, lit by sodium lamps under an orange haze. Men in white dhotis and white kurtas, many with red or maroon shawls, walk in a crowd on a wet road, several carrying drums on the left. Above them, orange and saffron flags and large banners with printed Hindi-style lettering and devotional imagery are held aloft, along with a small ceremonial standard. Some onlookers stand at the edges, and a partial figure appears in the lower right. No figure can be identified as a person from appearance.
