A procession of men walks barefoot across a stone-paved temple courtyard beside a stone wall and a colourful gopuram tower. At centre, a man in saffron-orange robes wears a long orange-and-purple shawl, a large marigold garland and a ceremonial gold pendant, with long swept-back dark hair and a painted forehead mark; he has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a garland, so this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate in the procession. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts, some in orange shawls, and bare-chested men with rudraksha-style neck beads and red or orange cloths walk alongside. Several men wear orange scarves and rudraksha malas. About fifteen people are visible.
