Night procession on a paved path lit by string lights in green trees, with decorated pink and red ceremonial umbrellas at right. A bearded man at centre wears a tall dark red turban, a heavy gold necklace, a dark rudraksha-style mala and a grey-patterned dhoti-style garment; the appearance cues are not sufficient to confirm the a person identity, so he is described as a procession leader. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold borders and shawls walk alongside a woman in an orange saree and another in a blue saree, while a figure in a brown robe and an older man with white hair follow. Several people are partly visible at the edges, some holding umbrellas. The scene is a temple-style or ashram procession.
