Night procession on a dirt road with two red umbrellas held over figures in saffron. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala, a gold pendant and a saffron shawl walks centre-left with hands folded, a person by his long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala; this is an appearance-based label. Beside him an older bald man in saffron with a white forehead band and beaded necklaces receives a kalasha-like offering. On the right a man in white dhoti with red-bordered cloth holds a decorated basket of flowers and fruit with a lamp or ceremonial item. Men in white dhotis and saffron robes surround them, and a parked vehicle and a person signboard with a map appear at the right edge.
