Evening procession at night with a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne carried on a golden palanquin. He wears a magenta and pink flower garland, a maroon shawl, gold necklaces and rudraksha beads, with long swept-back dark hair and a full beard, and a red tilak on his forehead. Golden trident-topped staffs stand beside him, and marigold garlands in yellow and maroon hang at left. Bare-chested attendants in front and devotees in saffron and white fill the background under strings of lamps. Reads as a Sadashiva Brahmotavam procession at the ashram, with a probable Swamiji seated on the throne.
