Night procession at an ashram with a large crowd of women and girls walking along a lit road. Many wear white, saffron-bordered or colourful saris and salwar, with some holding flowers and wearing garlands. In the centre, an illuminated palanquin-like float with a canopy and a decorated figure group moves forward. On the right, a bald bearded man in a saffron robe with an orange head cloth walks among the crowd beside a multi-storey orange building strung with coloured lights. Garlands of coloured lights decorate the trees and grounds behind. Strings of lights and lamps line the path into the darkness.
