A procession moves down a red carpet inside a covered ashram hall with a corrugated metal roof, orange-painted walls and ceiling fans. At the centre a standing figure with long dark hair, a purple dhoti and a rudraksha-style mala is walking beneath a multicoloured ceremonial parasol with tassels, appearing as a person presence, though appearance cues are only partially clear. Around him devotees in white dhotis and orange or saffron saris carry a brass pot and flowers, and one woman in a salmon sari holds a tray of flowers near a red and gold chair on the right. Garlanded and decorated pillars line the walkway, and framed photographs hang on the wall.
