A procession in an outdoor street setting with trees and a blue road sign behind. At centre, a smiling man with long swept-back hair, wearing saffron-orange robes, a long garland of white and pink flowers, a gold-and-bead necklace and a rudraksha mala, stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, in procession. Beside him on the left, a man in orange robes and gold necklace holds a tall gold trident staff; on the right, a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a tilak holds a gold staff. Behind them, orange and red flags and a fringed canopy are visible, with white-clad devotees and onlookers in the crowd.
