Outdoor photo of a morning procession at an ashram courtyard with two large ornate umbrellas, one red-green-blue with tassels and one multicoloured with yellow and orange fringe. A group of devotees in white clothes and orange or saffron shawls stands in two lines facing a green-draped table holding a brass vessel and a ring of pink and white flowers. Several men in white dhotis wear yellow shawls, and a woman in a white sari holds a small item at right. A stone deity statue and palm trees stand behind. Visible people number about twelve to fifteen, and no clearly identifiable a person appears, so the candidate is absent.
