A group of people walks along a dusty dirt path through dry scrubland with green trees behind them. In front, two young men wear saffron-orange robes, one draped over the shoulder and one in a dhoti-style wrap with a darker orange edge. Behind them, many women in white saris with orange or gold borders, some with orange shawls and rudraksha or bead necklaces, walk in procession. A man in a yellow shawl appears further back. The scene suggests an ashram walking procession, with the front figures and devotees in matching robes.
