Outdoor procession with a crowd of devotees in the background. In the foreground, a figure wears a rust-red turban with a small gold emblem, and a rust-red saffron-toned wrap over the shoulder. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders, and a rudraksha mala with large gold-capped beads and a gold ornamental necklace hangs on the chest. Behind him, men wear yellow and orange shawls, one with a red tilak and glasses, and a man on the right holds a yellow flower garland. The bright hazy sunlight suggests a ceremonial walk. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: long hair, crown-style turban, saffron-toned clothing and ornate gold-and-rudraksha necklaces, appearing in person in the procession.
