A photograph of a group walking along a dirt path beneath large banyan trees with aerial roots. In the foreground a barefoot man in a saffron-orange robe with a shawl draped over one shoulder walks at the front, a person by appearance, with long dark hair and rudraksha mala cues. Beside him an older bare-chested man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and tilak walks, and behind them a young boy in a yellow shirt walks with his hands folded. Further back, a saffron-robed sannyasi with a red headwrap and gold-beaded necklace walks with hands folded, and a man in a white shirt follows. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk in the background, and a saffron-robed attendant holding a bundle wrapped in pink cloth stands at the right edge. A concrete step and white wall line the left side.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path beneath trees. An older man in the centre wears an orange dhoti and a teal-green shawl with a gold necklace, a flower garland and a crown-like headband with red tilak, holding a bunch of yellow flowers. Around him, men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas walk alongside men in white shirts and white dhotis; one man at right wears a green-striped lungi. A bare-chested devotee in orange cloth stands at far right, and a decorated ceremonial umbrella or standard appears at upper right. a person cues are absent since the central figure's hair is not visible and he is not clearly distinguishable, so identity remains uncertain.
