A procession walks along a dirt road at an ashram entrance under bright daylight, with palm trees and a green gate behind. At the front right, a bald man in saffron robes carries a tray of flowers and a garland. Behind him, saffron-clad sannyasis walk barefoot, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas, one with a white-bearded head. On the left, men in white dhoti and shirts wear yellow shawls, and a red and yellow ceremonial umbrella with tassels shades the procession. A signboard reads Video Camera and Photography prohibited.

A multicoloured fringed parasol with tassels is held over a central figure wearing an orange robe, a long white and red flower garland, and white forehead markings; a man beside him in orange carries a small brass or metal kalasha-style object. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts walk among them, and a bearded man in orange stands at the right edge. Behind them are tents, a stage frame and a yellow vehicle.
