A night procession of devotees in white and red clothing carries flags and parasols along a path. At the centre, a figure in red robes, a red turban and rudraksha beads sits cross-legged on a raised palanquin-style seat carried on poles. Women in white saris with orange borders walk alongside, some holding brass pots and flags of Nepal and the United States. Gold-coloured ornamental palanquin fittings and a blue parasol are visible. The figure seated on the palanquin, wearing red robes, a red turban, rudraksha mala and a forehead mark, matches the appearance cues for Swamiji (probable), seated and carried in procession. Several men and women in white are visible, roughly twenty to thirty people.
