A procession on a dirt road in an ashram setting, with a white ornate chariot drawn by four white horses with decorated red and gold harness. A white umbrella canopy rises above the chariot. Seated on the chariot's white throne is a figure in saffron-coloured clothing with a red-and-gold garland and a rudraksha mala; a portrait-like depiction of a seated figure in red and white is also shown on the throne. Beside the chariot, a driver in orange robes with a crown-like headpiece holds the reins, and a bare-chested man in orange dhoti walks alongside. Children in white and orange dress and devotees in orange and white clothing walk along the road, and a red brick building and trees stand in the background.
