A woman in white sari with orange shawl stands in the centre beside a young man in light blue shirt and white dhoti.

Four women stand outdoors beneath tall palm trees with their palms pressed together in anjali mudra. The women in front wear plain white sarees and ornaments, including bangles and a gold bangle, with a red bindi on the forehead. Behind them a bamboo pole flies an orange flag, a green mesh fence stands behind a white-covered table, and a framed portrait of a woman in red hangs on a post at left.

Outdoor procession at an ashram-style compound under a canopy of red and orange fabric panels. Many people in white ritual clothes walk among flags with blue emblems on red and orange poles, and some carry ornate umbrellas. Coconut palms and a thatched hut stand behind. On the left a red-draped table holds a brass pot, fruit and a plate of offerings. A woman in the foreground with hair tied back stands with palms pressed together in namaste, while a man in white stripes stands at right. Several people wear orange cloth. Drummers appear in the crowd. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so no candidate is asserted.
