A photograph of a procession at an outdoor ashram courtyard under a tin roof. A central bearded man in a maroon-brown robe wears a long multicolour flower garland and a gold pendant necklace, walking barefoot on a striped runner, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace visible. Around him, saffron-clad attendants in orange dhotis and orange head cloths carry a long yellow-tipped staff and a brass trumpet, and a white-clad man stands at left. Pink pillars and a white car sit in the background, with a few other white-clad devotees near the right edge. Such a scene suggests a ceremonial welcome procession, but this is a visual description only.
