Outdoor procession on a dirt road with many people walking barefoot, most in white dhotis and kurtas. Two central figures in saffron-orange robes walk side by side: the one on the left wears a rudraksha mala and a saffron wrap with a patterned hem, and the one in the centre has long swept-back dark hair, a saffron garment, a heavy ornate gold-and-beaded necklace, and gold bangles, holding a small white object. Swamiji (probable) appears as the centre figure given the distinctive long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron clothing. Other devotees in white and cream, one man on the right wearing a rudraksha mala and cream dhoti with gold border.
