Indoor procession inside a hall with a corrugated metal roof and strings of lights. At the centre, a smiling figure with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe, a large red and yellow flower garland and a gold necklace, and holds a ceremonial staff and a brass trident-like standard. Around them, people in orange and saffron robes and people in white dhotis and white garments walk, several with palms pressed together in greeting. Large orange and white decorated pillars with ornate patterns line the walls, and hanging orange ceremonial fans decorate the ceiling. A banana plant leaf is in the foreground. The scene reads as a temple or ashram procession with devotees and attendants.
