A photograph of a procession on a paved courtyard beside a green-and-red-striped temple pillar. A bearded man with long swept-back hair wears a rust-red robe, a long gold necklace with a large gold pendant, and a garland of yellow and red flowers; he has a red mark on his forehead. An attendant behind him holds a green umbrella with multicoloured tassels over his head. Several young attendants in orange dhotis and bare chests, with white and orange body markings and rudraksha beads, walk behind. A kalasha pot with mango leaves and fruit sits on the ground at lower left. Banana plants frame the left side. Swamiji (probable): the bearded man with long hair, gold necklace and garland is a candidate for Swamiji based on these cues.
