A central figure in a rust-red robe stands under a red canopy during a procession, wearing a dense red-and-white flower garland, layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a tall black dreadlocked crown. Flanking him, attendants in white dhotis and orange cloth hold yellow-and-red and green ceremonial umbrellas; one attendant carries a silver-and-gold ornamented tray of flowers and leaves, and another holds a rudraksha mala. Swamiji (probable): the central figure shows the tall dark crown, gold necklaces and red garland, with the page indicating his presence at the Guru Purnima event.
