A man in a saffron-orange robe walks outdoors on a sandy path past a white structure and palm trees, smiling and touching his ear with one hand. He wears a long white and red flower garland with a heavy gold necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, and orange sandals. Behind him, a procession follows under a red and orange decorated canopy with tasselled fringe. Men in white dhotis and orange robes walk alongside, and a shaven-headed man in orange with glasses and a gold chain holds a tray. The person in the foreground has long swept-back hair and ornate gold necklace consistent with the Swamiji cues, so identity is probable.
