A procession at dusk on a stone staircase. A central figure in orange and gold-bordered robes wears a long gold-and-white flower garland, a gold pendant, gold bangles and a red bindi, with white sacred markings on the forehead and a broad smile. Behind him a young attendant in saffron robes holds a brass kalasha with green leaves on a tray. Several attendants in saffron robes with white forehead markings blow long brass horns, and a red and white flower garland hangs across the background. Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron robes, presented as the central procession figure.
