A dark nighttime outdoor scene under trees. A red glowing lantern or paper light hangs from a branch in the upper centre, with small warm lights in the background. In the foreground, several people in white clothing stand in blurred motion; one on the right wears a light shirt and a cord around the neck, another on the left wears a white top and a dark cord. Their faces are partly turned away and the image is heavily underexposed.

A bright floodlight and smoke or haze glow at the left, with orange flags visible. The surrounding darkness and lamplight give the scene a ceremonial, procession-like atmosphere.
