Aerial view of a festival procession on a dusty ground at a religious ashram site. Many devotees in white and cream traditional clothes, with some women in saris of red, blue and green, walk in a long column past a red draped stage and white-and-patterned barricades. Orange flags with blue emblems are carried aloft, and decorated umbrellas in red, green and yellow mark the procession. Small palanquin-style shrine structure with decorations sits at the upper left, and a dark black pillar or lingam-like monument stands on the red-draped platform. Palm plants, trees and distant hills are visible in the hazy background.
