A procession in an open-air temple courtyard with palm trees and tiled roofs behind. At centre, a bearded man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a long white-and-red flower garland walks beneath a tall gold-tipped ceremonial parasol held by an attendant. Around him, men with white-and-gold dhotis and bare torsos, some with ash markings and beaded necklaces, carry orange-and-gold banners and parasols, and women in orange saris and dark robes follow. A kolam with coloured patterns lies on the paved ground at right, and a drummer is visible among the crowd. Swamiji (probable): the central figure wears a rudraksha mala and a garland, with long hair and an ornate orange robe.
