Night procession on a muddy dirt road beside a red-painted building with a small dome. Several men hold long-handled umbrellas with red, green and yellow fringed canopies bearing a dove-like logo. Most wear white dhotis and shirts, one in an orange dhoti with a bare upper body and beaded necklace, and one on the right wears a brown cap, striped sweater and grey trousers. Potted plants line a red curb, and a dim night glow lights the scene.
