Night procession on a stone-paved path lit by a vehicle's bright headlights moving toward the viewer. Along both sides stand rows of people in white clothing holding long-handled, decorated umbrellas with sequinned and fringed canopies in yellow, red, orange, blue and purple. Blue fairy lights hang in the trees at right. The people appear to be ashram participants forming a ceremonial lane around the vehicle; faces are not discernible.
