Night procession on a dirt road lit by strings of coloured lights. A line of devotees in orange and saffron clothes, with white-clad participants on both sides, form a lane with arms raised. At centre, several figures in orange robes walk behind a tall staff-like rod and a striped ceremonial umbrella. Behind them, a fire burns near a decorated structure, and a lit building stands in the background. Several white-clad people stand on the right with lanyards. The scene suggests a satsang-related procession, with no clearly identifiable leader's face or name visible.
