Night procession outdoors. A man in a rust-orange saffron robe and a multicolour garland of yellow, purple and red flowers with gold beads stands centrally, hands clasped at his chest, face lifted and smiling, a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him a silver umbrella with leaf-shaped pendants is held overhead. Around him devotees in saffron and orange robes, one man in white dhoti and shirt with a red shawl, and a bare-shouldered devotee with shaved head and orange cloth. A flashlight is visible at lower left, and a vehicle with a banner partly reading 'IVE' stands behind the crowd.
