Night procession at an outdoor ashram courtyard. A central figure in saffron-orange robes wears a long red and orange flower garland and walks upward-gazing between parasol bearers. Two attendants in white dhotis hold long-handled parasols with embroidered yellow and gold canopies, one with multicoloured tassels. Beside him a monk in saffron robes carries a brass kalasha-style vessel decorated with yellow flowers and green leaves. Behind them a crowd of devotees in white clothes with yellow shawls stands with palms joined in greeting. A poster on the wall shows a portrait and a purple bird emblem. The central robed figure carries a flower garland and is positioned as a possible in-person candidate, though the appearance cues are only partially distinctive.
