A night procession lit in violet and purple light, with haze drifting through the scene. In the foreground, ornate brass or silver lamps and a tall lamp stand with curved arms are carried, and a crowd of people in white ceremonial garments walks around them. Behind them, large decorated umbrellas with checked fringe and smaller umbrellas rise above the crowd, with bright lights glowing in the background. Several figures are seen only in silhouette or from behind, and the tops of additional umbrellas and ritual vessels catch the light.
