A photograph of a group of people in white clothing walking in single file along a narrow dirt path through a palm and tropical tree grove. Most attendees wear white shirts, white dhotis or white kurtas, and several wear lanyards with name badges. In the foreground a smiling young man with long dark hair stands with arms folded, and a man with a white forehead tilak and a white shirt with a dark lanyard stands beside him. Behind them devotees follow along the path, and a woman in a white sari stands at the left edge. The procession appears to be a walk through the ashram grounds.
