A procession of saffron-robed sannyasis walks along a dirt path lined with coconut palms under a pale sky. Around him, several sadhus in orange and peach robes walk behind, one with a long white beard and a peach shawl, another in green and white with an orange turban at left. A group of men in white shirts and white dhotis walk alongside, some wearing ceremonial beaded necklaces, and a few devotees stand at the right edge.

Outdoor temple-area scene at an ashram with orange-painted buildings and palm trees behind. In the centre, a young man in saffron-orange robes and a dark rudraksha mala walks barefoot across a hexagonal tiled path, hands held together. Behind him, a shaved-headed man in orange and a man in white dhoti walk in procession, and a row of devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand along the right side with palms pressed in namaskar. A bearded man in white and a patterned shawl stands at the centre-right. A red-and-white striped platform with an orange cloth stands on the left, and a floral arch with a kalasha-like top is visible in the background. Kolam designs are drawn on the steps.

Dusk procession on a dirt path inside an ashram, flanked by a white wall with red and white stripes on the left and a grey block wall on the right, with coconut palms behind. A group of about twenty people walks toward the camera. Several men in saffron and orange robes and rudraksha mala necklaces lead, while others in plain white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing name badges on lanyards, walk alongside. A white-bearded elder in white garments walks near the centre. The scene reads as a devotional walk between ashram activities.
