Outdoor procession on a dirt road with a ratha/chariot visible behind. Three saffron-robed sannyasis walk at the front; the central figure, with long dark hair and rudraksha mala and garland, is the apparent Swamiji (probable), walking under a large red, yellow and green umbrella held by a man in white. Two attendants in white dhotis and shirts walk alongside, and a yellow-shawled man is at the right edge. A deity murti is carried on the chariot behind, with a water tower and green trees beyond.
