A procession on a dirt road with a man in the centre wearing a rust-brown dhoti and shawl, a long red and white flower garland, a gold necklace, bangles and long dark hair, walking beneath a multicoloured fringed canopy. Attendants in white dhotis with rudraksha malas hold a rope and a long staff; one carries a round red and orange embellished shield, and another wears an orange sari. A teal truck and red flags stand behind. The centre figure appears to be a probable Swamiji by his long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-toned clothing, but the attribution is an appearance-based candidate only.
