A nighttime procession outdoors in front of an orange-painted building. A man in the centre wears an orange-red saffron garment over his shoulders and a rudraksha mala, with palms pressed together in namaste and head bowed, standing before a tall umbrella-like canopy with red, yellow, blue and purple fringed panels. Behind and around him a crowd of about twenty people stands with palms joined, many in white, green, pink and yellow clothing; a woman on the right in a yellow-orange sari raises one hand. A purple-framed banner behind the group reads a message about miracles and a figure with a turban appears on it. Strings of lights and a metal truss run along the roofline.
