Night procession in a lit temple corridor, with strings of small lights along the walls and pillars. A central figure wears an orange saffron robe with a gold-coloured sash and a multi-strand flower garland, hands pressed together in namaskar and long dark hair swept back. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and garland. Around him walk devotees in white dhotis and shirts, several with orange shawls and pink-and-blue rosette badges pinned to their chests. Bright overhead lights and crowded spectators line the walkway.
