Night procession at a temple-like ashram seen from an elevated balcony. A long line of devotees in white and saffron-orange clothes carry large yellow, blue, orange and multicoloured umbrellas and red flags. A brightly illuminated decorated chariot topped with an elephant-head structure and a glowing ornamental arch moves along the path. A white car with pink-violet lighting leads the line and onlookers stand along the stone steps at left. Strings of lights and palm trees frame the scene.
