Outdoor procession on a dirt path beside dry grass. A young man with long hair, an orange turban, an orange robe and a long gold-beaded necklace walks forward with hands clasped, appearing to be a Swamiji (probable) given his long swept-back hair, turban and ornate necklace. Beside him, an older bearded man in an orange hooded robe with a tilak walks with an attendant, and a shaved-headed monk in orange follows. Behind them, white-clad devotees in white shirts and dhotis, one wearing a red-and-gold shawl, carry a red-and-blue flag with a white bird emblem and a decorated umbrella overhead.
