Outdoor evening procession on a pale stone courtyard in front of red multi-storey buildings strung with coloured fairy lights. A tall white ceremonial umbrella stands behind the group. At centre, a man in a rust-brown robe with a rudraksha mala and a white tilak walks barefoot, with a long swept-back hair and ornate beads, beside a figure in saffron-orange robes and a ceremonial gold necklace who carries a staff. Other men in white dhotis with gold borders and bare upper bodies walk with them, and a woman in an orange sari walks among them. One man at the centre-right holds a small green-and-gold decorated object. Trees and parked vehicles are visible in the background, marking a Mahashivaratri-season procession.
