A street procession climbs stone steps while a crowd in white clothing and saffron-orange robes follows. Ceremonial ceremonial banners with red and yellow designs hang from tall poles, and a long silver staff topped with a trident rises above the group. A man in orange robes with a long rudraksha-style necklace, long dark hair and a shawl walks centrally, appearing to be a probable Swamiji by his long swept-back hair, orange clothing and beaded mala. Several devotees in white and saffron walk around him, some with hands joined in prayer, while onlookers with cameras line the edges and a yellow-and-white shirted man stands in the foreground. Umbrellas with yellow fringe overhead and a parked vehicle sit at the top edge of the frame.
