Behind him, a saffron-robed figure with long hair and a rudraksha mala holds a microphone and walks under a large orange umbrella carried on a pole. Around them, devotees in orange and white saris and white dhotis walk in line; some carry trishul staffs. A woman at left photographs with a camera, and a golden pennant flag stands at right. Probable Swamiji (saffron robe, long hair, rudraksha mala, umbrella-escorted walk) is leading the procession.
