A procession on a dirt path at the ashram entrance. Beneath a yellow banner with maroon lettering reading WELCOME TO KAILASA, a smiling man in a grey shawl and white clothes with a red tilak walks beside a smiling older woman in a lavender top and blue scarf. Behind them, people in white dhotis and kurtas walk, and a drummer in white holds a drum at left. A young woman in a red kurta with a multicolour shawl gestures near the centre. A pink-domed building stands in the background. Several people are visible, the man's shawl and tilak are the notable identifying details, and no one is clearly identified as a person.
