Outdoor procession on a dirt path flanked by green foliage. A central figure in saffron-orange robes, with long dark hair and a white-and-red flower garland, walks barefoot with palms pressed together in greeting. Swamiji (probable) is indicated by the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and flower garland. Behind him, men in white kurtas and dhotis and women in white saris carry flowers and a brass offering vessel. Two young men in white and orange shawls hold long poles of a large red, gold and blue embroidered canopy banner decorated with elephants, lotuses and birds. A red and gold round parasol-like ritual umbrella is also carried. The scene reads as a ceremonial welcome procession.
