Outdoor procession on bare dirt ground at an ashram, with a white and tan parasol held over a bearded man in a rust-orange long-sleeved top and rust-orange dhoti walking centre-right. Behind him a bare-chested young man in saffron dhoti and garlands carries a flower-decked offering. Other attendants in white dhotis, rudraksha malas and orange saris walk beside them, and women on the left stand with palms pressed together in namaskar. A red building with air conditioners stands in the background. The bearded man in orange is clearly visible and in a clear role, but his face-based identity is not established by visible cues beyond the setting, so the a person field is set to unsure.
