In the centre, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair wears a rust-orange dhoti-style cloth with a gold-banded border, a gold necklace of large beads and a long rudraksha mala, and raises one hand in greeting. Figures in saffron-orange robes walk around him, some holding a yellow parasol and ornate saffron flags with embroidered emblems. Behind, a line of people in orange robes moves up the steps, and on the right a man in white dhoti and shawl holds a long umbrella pole. A bald priest in orange stands at the lower left. The scene reads as a ceremonial procession. Swamiji (probable) is the smiling man in the centre, identified by his swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace.2013-04-25April 22 20162016-04-22Outdoor procession on red stone steps under bright sky with large ornate orange and green umbrellas with peacock-style emblems.
