A night procession on a red carpet at an ashram, led by a smiling person in a red-orange turban and matching red-orange shawl. A large gold-and-orange garland with a red-and-yellow floral garland hangs over their chest, and a gold ornate pendant rests on the garland. Several sannyasi-style attendants in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and horizontal white forehead bands walk with them; one holds a tall staff, another carries a trident-topped pole, and one plays a hand drum at the right. Behind them, more robed participants and women in white and pink saris follow beneath a colourful fringed canopy. Tall trident standards and bright white lights frame the scene.

A smiling person in a rust-red turban and matching rust-red draped robes with gold border bands stands at night, wearing a long jasmine garland with red and green accents, multiple strands of brown and gold beaded rudraksha-style malas, a gold pendant necklace and gold bangles.
