Outdoor procession under a red and white patterned tent canopy on a red carpet. In the foreground, a man in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap, with a long-haired appearance and a gold-beaded garland, walks with palms pressed together in greeting; the appearance cues are distinctive enough for a probable Swamiji identification and he is physically present. Beside him, a man in white kurta and white dhoti with a lanyard walks forward. Behind them, people in white and light clothing hold national flag banners for Sri Lanka and Spain, with a banner reading Dhyanapeetha Conference nearby, and a decorated pole with colourful bands stands in the centre. Photo-documented ceremonial procession with flags of countries where the organisation has a presence.
