Night procession on a stone-paved open ground, with long-exposure motion blur on many figures. Dozens of people in white dhotis and white kurtas with red-and-gold sashes walk alongside women in orange-red saris with flower garlands. Drummers in white carry drums, and men hold tall golden ceremonial staffs and fans. Several large red and orange umbrellas are raised. A videographer on a tripod stands at left in white. Coloured string lights hang across the background and bright floodlights illuminate the scene.
