Night procession at the ashram: a shirtless man in a white dhoti and sacred thread stands at the side of a golden nandi (bull) vahana that pulls a tall, ornate ratha. The ratha is decorated with a multicoloured circular canopy and gold trim, with purple draped cloth and marigold garlands. Three deity murtis sit within the purple-cushioned platform. The man holds a fan or whisk in one hand and rests the other on the golden bull. Dark night sky with floodlighting.
