Night street scene in a small town, with a crowd of devotees pressing around a black car whose windscreen banner reads ANANDAM. Inside the car, a bare-chested figure with long hair, rudraksha beads and gold bangles sits with hands joined in greeting, wearing an orange-and-red shawl; the swept-back long hair and distinctive adornments are cues that may fit a person, so the figure is described as a probable candidate. Around the car, devotees in white shirts and orange robes, several shaved-headed sannyasis, reach toward the window, and one man holds a pink flower garland. Whitewashed houses, a yellow building and a roadside shop line the street.
