A procession walks along a paved path lined with low green shrubs and tall trees. In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a red-orange headband wears an orange saffron wrap, a white and red flower garland, and a long beaded necklace with a pendant. Around him, men in white kurtas and dhotis with orange shawls walk in step, one holding a cloth to his mouth, another on the left with a bare arm extended. A tall grass stalk stands at the left edge. Printed copyright text appears in the lower right. Faint and partially visible figures are behind them. The central figure is a probable Swamiji by his long hair, saffron clothing and garlands; his identity is an appearance-based label only.
