A procession walks along a dirt path lined with palm trees under bright daylight. Four men in white dhotis and white shirts or kurtas carry ornate umbrellas with gold fringe, multicoloured canopies and red-and-gold medallion panels; their yellow scarves hang from their shoulders. Behind them walk a group of sannyasis in saffron and orange robes, several bearing ritual items, including a figure in orange at the centre holding an offering tray. More people in white follow. On the left, a blue signboard reads Ananda Spurana Program and lists physical, mental and spiritual well-being benefits, with a portrait of a smiling woman in orange. A white tent stands in the background.
