A night procession at an ashram shows a large golden vahana shaped like a bull, mounted on a wooden cart draped with purple cloth and garlanded with marigold and orange flower strands. An ornate golden canopy with multicoloured tassels rises above the figures seated within the shrine-like carriage. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti stands at the left edge reaching up toward the carriage. Strings of lights and dark trees frame the scene, with a smaller decorated cart and figures visible further back. Deity murti are seated in the carriage.
