Night procession with a crowd of devotees around a central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a long gold-coloured necklace and dark hair swept back. Several large umbrellas in multicoloured panels with fringed tassels, printed with a Nithyananda Peetam logo, are held aloft. Women in white saris and men in white kurtas surround him, many with hands raised. Musicians in the lower foreground play long wind instruments with bell-shaped ends. A few people in western-style clothing stand at the right edge, and a saffron flag hangs at top right. The scene appears to be a festival procession at night.
