A street procession in a South Indian village on a sunny day. A central man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-red dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a long rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold-toned necklaces, smiles and walks forward among devotees. Shaved-headed monks in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas walk beside him, one holding a hand out. Men in white dhotis and shirts, a uniformed police officer in khaki, and onlookers line the road. Behind them a large printed banner shows a deity-like figure with a garland beside a flower-decorated display, and palm trees and houses frame the street. Probable Swamiji appears centrally, dressed in rust-red with long hair and rudraksha malas, walking in the procession.
