Outdoor procession on a dirt path under large ornate umbrellas with red, yellow and green tassels and floral patterned canopies. A man in a black shirt and glasses walks at the left edge. Behind him, a man in white dhoti and white shawl with gold border walks beside a woman in a beige sari with red border. A man in white kurta and white dhoti carries a basket of yellow flowers. At the right, a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe and orange head wrap walks with hands folded. Beside him, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti carries a flower-decorated basket with yellow blossoms and green leaves. Several other people in white and light clothing follow in the background. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired man in saffron robes and head wrap, with clothing and long swept-back hair as cues.
