A nighttime procession at an ashram lit with colourful string lights. In the centre, a flower-covered ratha/palanquin bearing a deity murti, decorated with white and red garlands, moves along a road. Behind it, a larger illuminated chariot with carved figures and a canopy glows gold. Crowds of devotees in white dhotis and shirts, some in saffron and orange saris, walk alongside and push the vehicles. A dark car is visible at right and a man in a white shirt stands near the front, a rudraksha-clad figure is not clearly visible. No candidate for a person can be confidently identified from appearance, so no one is labelled as him.
