Night procession on a dirt road. Two rows of men in white dhotis and white shirts hold tall poles with large colourful umbrellas (red, green, yellow, purple fringe, some with a blue bird emblem). Small lit torches or flames light the road ahead, with robed figures in orange and saffron visible further along. A bright floodlight glows at the left edge against dark fields. Counting only clearly visible people, about a dozen men stand in the foreground.
