A photograph of a procession on stone steps lined with dark stone pillars and red-tiered seating. A smiling man in the centre wears a rust-red sannyasa robe draped over one shoulder, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large pendant, gold armbands, and a white-and-red forehead marking, with long dark hair swept back. Behind him, followers in red and white dhotis and bare-chested attire carry a yellow staff and a red flag; a musician in red plays a brass horn, and a woman in a purple sari walks nearby. Swamiji (probable) is shown as the central figure, identifiable by his rust-red robe, gold necklace, armbands and swept-back hair; the page refers to a discourse on 26 June 2017.
