Night procession scene: a bearded man in an orange-brown shawl and a crown-like headdress sits on an ornate gold palanquin with carved silver-gold railings, draped in pink and white flower garlands. Beside him, a man in white dhoti with gold borders holds a rudraksha mala and another stands at the right holding a tall silver staff, with a phone visible in his hand. Pink lotus buds, red and purple flower strands and green foliage decorate the frame, and flower petals cover the ground. The palanquin appears to be part of a procession. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears long hair beneath a crown, a saffron shawl and multiple garlands, matching the presentation cues.
