Night outdoor procession of four men walking on a dirt path with blurred coloured lights behind them. The central figure wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti, a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, multi-strand garlands of white flowers with red and green beads, an ornate gold necklace with a pendant, a gold armlet and a gold bracelet, and holds a silver trident. He has a person appearance: a red turban and layered ornate garlands and gold jewellery, with the Hindu sannyasi role suggested by the procession. A man on the left carries a silver trident and wears an orange-brown cloth with a brown rudraksha mala and glasses. A bald man on the right, with white sacred ash markings, wears an orange shawl and holds a tall golden staff, and another man in orange walks behind. The scene is lit by a spotlight.
