Outdoor procession crowd on a dusty ground at a festival. Colourful multicoloured parasols with tassels and blue-and-white bird motifs shade a figure in orange robes standing in a decorated palanquin-like vehicle, with balloons tied to the canopy. Devotees in white clothes, many with orange shawls, crowd close, including a young child held by a man in a white shirt and a woman in a white sari. A white van with an ashram logo and tents stand behind, under a clear sky with a water tower.
