A procession outdoors on a paved courtyard with palm trees and a low red-brick wall behind. In front, a woman in an orange-red sari carries a brass kalasha topped with yellow marigold garlands and a white bead necklace on a round tray. Beside her, a woman in a white sari holds a large gilt-framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda", showing a smiling figure seated in orange robes with a mala, hand raised in blessing, before a banyan root backdrop. Behind them, young boys in orange and red dhotis play long curved brass horns, and others carry cymbals, forming a ratha-style procession with a dwajarohanam feel.
