A dense outdoor procession crowds the frame, with many people in white shirts and white dhotis wearing orange headbands and orange scarves. Large umbrellas with multicoloured fringed canopies, decorated with bird emblems and the text Dhyan Ashram, are held aloft over the crowd. Tall orange flags with a dark bird emblem wave in front of a palanquin-like vehicle, and palm trees and smoke rise in the background. Several people in the foreground are visible, including a bearded older man in white and a young person in a green-and-white outfit, and the crowd extends far back in the frame.
