Night procession outside an ashram with a bus behind reading NITHYANANDAM. A bearded man in a reddish-brown robe and a multicolour flower garland stands at the centre, smiling, beside a tall golden staff. Around him, sannyasis in orange robes and rudraksha malas carry a decorated pot of flowers and a kalasha, several with white and ochre facial markings. On the right, a man in white shirt and dhoti stands with glasses, and a woman in orange robes holds an offering pot. Floodlights illuminate the scene. A central figure has long hair and a bushy beard with no visible crown, saffron-coloured ornate clothing or rudraksha ceremonial adornments beyond the garland, so identity is uncertain.
