Outdoor procession on a dirt path at an ashram with thatched-roof huts and orange flags on poles. A central figure in long dark hair wears a flowing orange robe with gold-edged border and a dark rudraksha mala, walking barefoot in front. Around him, men in white shirts and white dhotis wear orange shawls and walk barefoot in a group, one man in a white kurta with a rudraksha-style necklace and dark bead mala. A blank white screen stands behind the thatched stall and bicycles are parked nearby. Appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable) is the central robed figure in orange with long hair and rudraksha mala, walking at the front of the procession.
