A photograph of a procession inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and fluorescent lights. A central figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a leopard-print wrap, wearing a white and pink flower garland and a red tilak on the forehead, walks barefoot and raises one hand in greeting. Two saffron-robed attendants walk beside him, and another attendant in yellow and orange stands at the right edge gripping a steel railing. Green banana leaves line the path, and a few onlookers stand at the left behind the railing. The central figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance, given the swept-back long hair, ornate saffron clothing and garlands.
