A photograph of a procession outdoors under palm trees. In the centre, a bare-chested man with long swept-back black hair, wearing an orange shawl and gold ceremonial necklaces, holds his hand to his mouth. He appears to be Swamiji (probable), a candidate identified by long hair, orange ornate clothing and gold necklaces. Beside him, a man in white with rudraksha beads and a red forehead mark holds a tall gold-topped staff, and a smiling man in orange with gold beads and a red tilak stands at right. A decorated fan-shaped ceremonial umbrella with blue and gold panels is visible at left, and a pink and gold ornamented parasol appears behind him.
