A joyful procession crowd of young men in white kurta-style clothes with orange shawls and rudraksha malas dances outdoors near a whitewashed wall with painted floral motifs. A central young man with a dishevelled dark hairdo and open-mouthed grin raises a hand, while others sing and clap around him. An orange and gold ceremonial parasol with tassels hangs overhead, and a bald man's head is in the foreground. Concrete buildings and a dry hillside are visible behind. No figure here is clearly identifiable as the a person, and the scene shows youth participants rather than a seated guru.
