Night procession on a stone-paved path beneath a large tree, with brightly coloured umbrellas raised over the group. A bearded man in a long saffron-orange garment with a tilak and a dark bead mala walks in front, followed by a man in white dhoti with yellow border and beaded necklace holding a long fan-like staff. Women in saffron and orange saris, some with beaded necklaces, walk alongside holding umbrellas in orange, red, green, yellow and pink. A few people in white carry a small wooden platform. Lamplight glows at the left edge.
