A photograph of a procession at an ashram, with a central figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a red and yellow flower garland, layered gold and beaded necklaces, a rudraksha mala, and an orange-saffron dhoti, smiling and raising one hand. A white-clad man in a white shirt and white dhoti walks at left with hands together in greeting. Behind them, young men in white dhotis with gold borders hold a long pole of a canopy overhead, and a man plays a long wind instrument at right. Devotees in white and colourful saris stand along the sides with palms pressed together, and a red-clothed attendant kneels in the foreground. The scene suggests a ritual procession with a canopy.
