Night procession scene in a crowded street with a stone temple wall at left. A central man with a full black beard and long dark hair wears a rust-brown robe, a thick brown rope-like shawl, and a large fresh garland of green leaves, white flowers and pink blossoms; he has a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a red dot. He is smiling and reaching toward a white bowl holding pink flowers, while a man in a white shirt at left extends his hands. Around him, several young men wear saffron-orange cloths, gold beaded necklaces and rudraksha malas, with white and red forehead markings. Swamiji (probable) cues: long dark hair, distinctive rope shawl and garland, and ceremonial saffron-clad attendants around him.
