Outdoor procession at a wooded mountain camp with tall pines and a wooden building behind. A man in a long cream-coloured embroidered robe with a white sash, long dark swept-back hair, is centred, hands raised in clapping gesture, mid-dance. Above him is a large canopy umbrella with bands of red, orange, green, blue and purple fabric and red tassel fringe, and a tall flag beside it with a colourful panel. A man in a white kurta with a dark shawl and a rudraksha-style mala holds a silver tray with a coconut and flower offering. Around them women and men in blue, red and teal clothing clap, and several carry decorated framed shields with orange and gold borders. Swamiji (probable): the centred man has long swept-back hair and cream ornamented robes, with a ceremonial canopy honouring him, so the figure is a probable candidate for the in-person identification.
