A large crowd of devotees in white clothing walks along a dirt road during a morning procession at an ashram. Many men wear white dhotis and shirts, women wear white saris, and several carry white cloth or wear rudraksha-style beaded malas. On the right, ornate carts or palanquin-style chariots with orange, red and gold canopies and garlands are pulled along the road, with a man in white standing beside them. Saffron and red flags on tall poles stand behind the crowd near a brick building with a metal roof, and palm and tall trees frame the scene. White kolam-style floor patterns are drawn on the ground at right.
