Outdoor procession photograph under a leafy tree canopy. A central figure in a maroon-brown turban with a gold-and-red ornament, a long pink and white lotus garland, and heavy gold layered necklaces over a rust-brown robe holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a silver bell in the other. Behind him, several men in white dhotis with gold borders and white sacred ash on their foreheads stand in line; one at left holds hands in anjali, and others wear rudraksha malas. Silver staffs and a trident rise in the background. Swamiji (probable): the central figure's turban, gold ornaments and maroon robe match the page's Swamiji claim, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
