Night photo of a narrow village street lit by a bright floodlight on a pole. A carpet of yellow flower petals runs down the middle of the road, with people standing and walking on both sides. Near the centre, a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl walks along the petal path, while a man in white shirt and white dhoti walks beside the petals.
