Outdoor procession under tall coconut palms at a sunlit ashram-style ground. Two large multicoloured canopy umbrellas with red, yellow, green and blue panels are carried above a crowd. Many people in white clothing move along a dirt path lined with orange flowers and marigold-filled planters; some women wear blue, pink and yellow saris, and a few men wear orange shawls or saffron cloth. A man in a white shirt holds a camera or phone at the front right, and temporary white tent structures and orange bunting stand behind the crowd. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is named.
