Photo of a festival procession outdoors at a temple entrance under a red umbrella. A man in saffron-orange clothing with a tall orange turban, long swept-back dark hair, a gold necklace and a long red and green flower garland stands smiling in the centre, with a red umbrella overhead and an orange ceremonial fan with a bird emblem raised behind him. Uniformed police officers in khaki and beige stand nearby, and an orange-robed sannyasi with a shaved head and white beaded necklace faces him in the foreground. Other people in white and orange clothing crowd the background, and a yellow banner is visible behind them. Probable Swamiji is identified by the orange turban, long hair, saffron clothing and garlands; the central figure is shown in a procession with uniformed officials.
