Night outdoor procession at an ashram courtyard with brick paving and decorated umbrellas. Men in white dhotis, white shirts and red shawls stand with palms joined in namaskar along both sides. A man in white with a silver-grey beard holds a brass tray of yellow flowers and a small silver bowl. In the centre, a figure wears a red turban and a long multicolour flower garland, with white and red tilak marks, while a man in orange cloth bows with head lowered in front of him. Another figure in orange with long dark hair stands at right. Small clay lamps sit on the ground, and ornate umbrellas with gold and red canopies, a red and gold umbrella, and a red and yellow parasol frame the scene. Several people stand in the background.
