Night procession on a paved courtyard lit with green light, with trees and multi-storey buildings behind. A small ceremonial umbrella on a pole is held aloft over the group. Several people walk in a line: a man in white dhoti and shawl carries a white handheld light, a woman in a white sari carries a small brass bowl, and a bare-chested man wears a long orange garland of beads and a leopard-print wrap. Other attendees wear orange and saffron robes, one carrying a long staff, and a fire engine is parked in the background.
