A dusty path procession at what appears to be an ashram, with a large multicolored umbrella and a sign reading "WAY TO TEMPLE" with an arrow. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a bald head, walking beside a man in white wrapped with a pink-striped shawl, leads a crowd. Many people, including children and adults, are smeared with pink, purple and yellow powder. A woman in saffron with orange beads and a garland walks at the centre, and a uniformed security guard stands behind a green gate. A camera on a tripod is visible at left.
