Night-time photograph of a dirt road at an ashram, with a procession of people dressed in white moving toward a gate. Several colourful striped parasols or umbrellas with bright red, orange and green patterns are carried above the group. Some marchers wear white dhotis and white kurtas, while women on the right wear white saris, one with a light blue border. A bright street lamp lights the scene, and a white building with a red-roofed edge stands at the right. Some people stand at the sides of the road watching. The people are visible and roughly counted at the scene; the participants appear to be in a gurupoornima style procession with parasols.
