Night street procession in a narrow Varanasi-style lane, lit by sodium street lamps and shop fronts with signboards. A long line of people walks toward the camera, mostly in white ritual clothes with red-and-orange shawls draped over their shoulders. In the foreground right, a woman with glasses and a red shawl over white dress is smiling, with a second woman in white and red beside her. A tourist coach with TOURIST printed on its windscreen is parked along the road. A cyclist in a red-striped shirt carries a large metal milk churn on the left, and a few more marchers in white stretch back into the distance.
