Elevated aerial view of an ashram compound during a procession. A large crowd dressed mostly in white, with some in red and purple, moves along a dirt path between metal-roofed buildings and purple-canopied stalls. Several people carry tall green palm fronds or staffs, and one person holds a red umbrella. Parked white and silver vans line the lower edge beside a row of red-tiled roof sheds with hung laundry. Blue tarpaulin tents and construction mounds surround the path. Individual faces are too small to assess, and no figure can be confidently identified as the a person.
