Night photograph of a crowded outdoor procession at an ashram-style venue with orange canopy and string lights. A bald, bespectacled man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha-style mala and tilak stands at left, beside a man in a brown-red robe with a gold necklace under a blue umbrella with a silver fringe carried over a central figure. A police officer in a grey-khaki uniform and cap stands in the foreground, and several devotees in white, grey and navy shirts press around. A man in orange robes with folded hands stands near a dark car, and a man in a turban and a man in a white kufi-style cap are also visible. Their faces are not in focus enough to state more than their roles; the scene shows devotees and officials gathered around a sannyasi-style leader under a canopy.
