Outdoor procession at a wide dirt-ground ashram campus with metal-roofed sheds behind. Dozens of people in white clothing, many women and girls in white saris and men in white kurtas, walk past large rocks, following a decorated palanquin-like float. A drummer in a white outfit with a red sash plays a drum at right. Orange saffron flags on poles and multicoloured striped umbrellas rise above the crowd, and balloons in yellow, green and blue hang from the float. A cameraman in an orange scarf stands at the left edge on a rise. The float carries orange-robed figures near its top, and no one can be identified with confidence.
