A night photograph of a group walking along a dirt path in an open, unlit area. Several men in saffron-orange robes lead the group, with some wearing white or light-coloured clothing behind them; a few carry small lights and torches that cast bright spots on the ground. Some people in the background wear white with yellow shoulder cloths. The surrounding landscape is dark with scattered debris at left. No individual can be clearly identified as a person from appearance; the figures appear to be devotees or sannyasis in procession.
