A procession on a sandy path lined with coconut palms and thatched huts. A young monk in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala holds a silver kalasha decorated with a red and orange cloth and yellow and purple flowers. Beside him, a shaven-headed man in orange garments walks barefoot with hands folded. Behind them, a bearded sadhu in orange with a teal turban holds a palm-leaf fan and a rudraksha mala. Men in white dhotis and shirts, one holding a brass tray, walk alongside. A signboard reading Nithyananda Bidadi Ashram stands in the background, with a bright banner of a woman's portrait to the right.
