Night procession at an ashram. A decorated ratha carrying a deity murti under a golden canopy with marigold garlands is pulled by a red Mahindra tractor, driven by a man in a dark jacket. A barefoot man in a white dhoti and bare chest sweeps the path ahead of the chariot with a broom. In the foreground a woman in an orange sari watches. Behind, another decorated chariot and white-clad people walk along lit building facades strung with blue and white fairy lights. The swami's appearance cannot be confirmed from this view, so no candidate is identified.
