Outdoor procession on a paved road beside green shrubs and trees. A large ceremonial parasol with white fringed canopy edged in red tassels is carried over a group of men in white ritual clothes. A man in front on the left wears a white kurta and has grey hair and glasses, and a man in white with a red-bordered cloth and a rudraksha-style necklace stands center with hands folded in namaste. Behind them, a man in orange cloth and a woman in white walk under a second umbrella with red, orange and floral embroidery. A young girl in white with a white headband holds a water bottle at right, and a white flag with a blue bird emblem flutters beside her. The scene reads as a festival procession with several people; no visible swami is identifiable by appearance.
