A procession moves along a dusty path between red walls at an ashram compound. Several participants carry large ceremonial parasols with colourful panels, red, green, blue and gold, decorated with white doves and tasselled fringes; one panel reads Dhyana Peetam. Men in white dhotis and white shirts with lanyards walk with bamboo staffs, and women in white saris stand near the parasols. Behind them a red-painted building and trees complete the scene.
