Night procession on a dirt path through trees, with a group of about a dozen devotees walking together. A man in the centre wears a saffron orange dhoti and shawl, with a red undershirt, walking barefoot-style in sandals and leading the group. Women on the left and right wear white sarees with gold borders and red shawls, and a man on the right in white dhoti and red shawl carries a lit lantern. Dim night sky and dark foliage surround the procession, with rocks lining the path. The orange-clad leader may be a person: he has long hair swept back and wears saffron garments and a red shawl, but the cues are modest, so this is uncertain.
