A procession walks barefoot along a mat laid on a concrete path beside a red brick wall and a tree. In the centre, a man in an orange-brown garment with gold-bordered drapes wears a long orange-gold garland and a large gold pendant, and carries a long golden staff topped with a gold finial. Bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and wrist bands, he has long swept-back dark hair and a red forehead mark; by appearance this is a Swamiji (probable) figure, presented as in_person. Behind him, a shaved-headed man in orange with a rudraksha mala and white forehead marks plays a small hand drum, and a boy in orange also wears a rudraksha mala. Young girls and boys in maroon tunics with gold trim and white forehead marks follow, one girl clasping her hands.
