Night ritual outdoors beside a tall copper kalasha-like pillar wrapped with white cloth and straw, set on a white stone plinth. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a pink-orange shawl and a red-and-green flower garland stands beside it, one hand raised to the copper vessel. Probable Swamiji appearance: long dark hair and saffron-orange robes with a flower garland, performing a ceremonial act at the copper pillar. Seated devotees in orange and saffron clothing and white garments sit to the right, with ceremonial staffs and a decorated yellow-and-blue banner at the edge. Palm trees and dark night sky with bokeh lights form the background.

A man in orange robes and a white shawl stands on the base, holding the flag ropes with both hands, with long dark hair. Strings of multicoloured fairy lights hang in diagonal lines across the dark sky. In front, a brass bowl, a brass lamp and a brass bell sit on a small wooden stand, and a dark plaque with white lettering is mounted on the base beside the pole.
