A procession walks along a dirt path through green trees and rocky hills. A nadaswaram-style wind player in a dark green shirt and white dhoti leads, playing a long pipe, while a drummer in white dhoti and white shirt beats a barrel drum with a yellow-and-black band. Behind them, a robed figure in orange-red garments and a red-orange shawl with white garland walks under a multicoloured ceremonial parasol, followed by men in saffron/orange robes and white dhotis. Orange flags bearing a circular logo hang from a tree on the right. On the left, women in white saris with gold borders stand with hands pressed together in greeting. The scene suggests a ceremonial procession through the ashram grounds.
