Outdoor procession at a red ashram building with a green curved roof, orange flags on poles, and a large silver trident carried upright. Many young men in white dhotis and white kurtas wear orange shawls over their shoulders, with some holding up hands and pointing fingers. Colourful striped umbrellas with fringed edges, one bearing a dove emblem and the word Dhyanapeetham, shade the crowd. Several men carry ceremonial silver staffs, and dry dusty ground lies beneath a clear blue sky. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowd, so the presence of the Master is unclear.
