A night procession at an ashram entrance. A central man in a maroon-brown dhoti-style robe wears a long pink and white flower garland, layered gold necklaces, a gold waist belt and gold bangles, with a white forehead mark. He walks barefoot along a striped multicoloured runner under a large ceremonial umbrella with red, yellow, blue and white tassels. Around him, saffron-robed attendants with rudraksha malas and forehead markings follow; one young attendant in the foreground presses his palms together in prayer, and a drummer beside him holds a drum. A man in white dhoti with gold border and bare upper body stands at the right edge. Red pillars frame the path.
