Photograph, rotated sideways, of a palanquin procession at an outdoor ashram setting. Several saffron-robed monks in orange clothing and rudraksha malas carry a long white pole supporting a decorated palanquin draped with flower garlands in yellow, orange, red and green, with banana leaves tied along the poles. A second flower-decorated palanquin sits below, with banana leaves and marigolds, and a man in orange at the far left carries the pole. The ground is a red brick path bordered by green-tiled walls. Numerous monks are visible, shoulder to shoulder, carrying the palanquins.
