Outdoor photo of a group walking along a dirt path lined with coconut palms and a row of flagpoles with colourful flags, with white vans parked behind. In the centre, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a long gold necklace, a probable Swamiji by appearance cues (long hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold necklace), walks ahead of the group. Behind him, devotees in white dhotis and shirts, a woman in a white sari, a woman in a maroon sari, and a child in a pink shirt follow. A saffron-robed attendant in the right foreground carries a bag. Granite posts border the path in the foreground.
