Night procession at an outdoor ground with smoke drifting on the left. Devotees in white and orange-clad figures walk in a crowd past a thatched umbrella-style canopy on a pole and a decorated palanquin-like float on the right, lit with red and yellow lights. A figure seated on the illuminated float is too small and distant to assess. Several people in the foreground are in silhouette, and the crowd is dense enough that the total is approximate.
