Outdoor procession on a dirt path flanked by banana plants, with two large multicoloured canopy umbrellas carried on poles over the central figure. A central figure in orange-saffron robes wears a red turban, a long white garland with a pink-and-orange flower garland, and a rudraksha-style necklace, walking barefoot with hand raised in blessing. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts with orange shoulder cloths carry the umbrella poles and walk alongside, while others in white and a man in a white shirt and blue jeans stand at the edges. The appearance-based candidate fits several cues including the long hair, saffron robes and ornate garlands, so this is probable Swamiji in procession.
