A photograph of a procession on a pink carpet path outdoors under palm trees. A central man walks barefoot, wearing a long reddish-maroon garment with gold borders over a rudraksha-style shawl, a large multicoloured flower garland with a tassel, gold necklaces, gold armlets and bangles, and a dark swept-up headdress, with a red bindi. He smiles. Flanking him are attendants in orange and saffron dhotis with gold borders, some bare-chested with sacred ash marks; a boy in orange carries a red tray with greenery and offerings. Behind them stands a decorated orange and red ceremonial banner on a pole and another man in maroon robes with a white-beaded necklace. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a rudraksha-style shawl, with the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam-style procession role of honoured walker.
