A procession on a tree-lined road where a central figure in a rust-red robe, wearing a large gold ceremonial necklace and a red-and-white flower garland, walks under a long dreadlocked-style topknot with a red tilak. A tall wooden staff with a golden ornamental top rises beside him, and a wooden-handled ceremonial parasol in red and multicolored fringe overhead. Attendants in white dhotis with rudraksha malas, one in a green sari, accompany him, and multiple colorful umbrellas and red and yellow flags stand behind the group. Swamiji (probable) appears in this procession, with his long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-toned robe as the cues.
