A procession on a paved courtyard under a tiled roof. A bearded man in a rust-red robe and a long white flower garland walks forward with arms outstretched, carrying a large umbrella-like canopy with multicoloured fringed panels in green, red, blue and yellow above him. Behind him, a tall orange-robed attendant holds a wooden staff, and several women in orange saris and men in white dhotis and shirts follow. Other people with small red and orange parasols walk to the left, and a crowd stands in the background beside palm trees and a red-and-gold shrine structure. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure: a long-haired man with a rudraksha mala and a garland, carrying the canopy in procession.
