Outdoor procession on a dirt path under a canopy of red and white striped awnings and ornate multicolored umbrellas with tasseled edges. A man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing a saffron-orange robe with a draped shawl and holding his palms together in greeting, walks at the front right; he appears to be a probable Swamiji by appearance, with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a ceremonial presentation. Around him, several saffron-robed sannyasis walk, one bald man in orange with hands folded, and a woman with long hair in orange robes and a rudraksha mala also greets with folded hands. Attendants in white dhotis and shirts, and one in white holding a tray with flowers, follow alongside, with umbrellas held overhead. Saffron and orange flags with OM symbols hang in the background.
