Outdoor procession at an ashram-style compound under a canopy of red and orange fabric panels. Many people in white ritual clothes walk among flags with blue emblems on red and orange poles, and some carry ornate umbrellas. Coconut palms and a thatched hut stand behind.

A woman in the foreground with hair tied back stands with palms pressed together in namaste, while a man in white stripes stands at right. Several people wear orange cloth. Drummers appear in the crowd. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so no candidate is asserted.
