Night photograph of a procession at an outdoor ashram setting with a red-and-gold ornate throne in the foreground. Four men walk in a line in orange and red-orange dhoti-style garments; the central figure wears a red cloth, a long gold necklace and a headband, and another walks with a tall yellow pole supporting a multicoloured canopy with fringed edges. A red-and-gold decorated banner stands at right, and a striped mat lies at lower left. Concrete posts and a white vehicle are visible at left. The central walking figure has long dark hair and a gold necklace, but his face and appearance are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described only by role as a walking devotee in procession.
