A night procession moves along a paved road lit by strings of coloured fairy lights and smoke haze. In the foreground, two women in purple and gold saris balance tall decorated headdresses with peacock-feather fans and bright ornaments, arms extended in dance. Behind them, more performers in gold and pink costumes carry similar headdresses. Men and women in white and light clothing walk in the procession, and several people hold orange and red flags and decorated yellow umbrellas. Spectators stand at the edges of the road in the dark.
