A dirt courtyard outside low white and tiled buildings, with a silver SUV parked behind. A procession of men in white dhotis and orange shawls walks across the ground, led by a figure holding a tall staff with a trident-like finial. A red and gold ornate umbrella or canopy is raised above the group. A man in the foreground at left films the procession with a handheld video camera, and another man at right also appears to be filming or photographing. A few figures wear orange garments. The scene appears to be a ceremonial procession at an ashram.
