A dusty dirt path through a grove of tall trees in bright daylight, with a crowd of many people walking in a procession. Most wear white clothing, including white kurtas, dhotis and white saris, while several monks and sadhus wear saffron and orange robes. Several large umbrellas with red, orange and blue panels, decorated with symbols, shade the marchers. Tall orange and yellow ceremonial banners with fringed tips rise above the crowd, and a drummer in orange is visible at the left edge. A red compound wall runs along the right side. A small child in a checked shirt walks at the center of the group. The scene reads as a ceremonial walking procession on the ashram grounds.
