Outdoor photograph of a procession on a sandy path beside a red wall and large banyan trunks. A bearded man with long dark hair and a white-and-red forehead mark walks barefoot with eyes closed, wearing a brown-maroon dhoti and shawl with gold border, a thick rudraksha mala across his chest and a long garland of white jasmine and red roses. Behind him a young attendant in orange cloth and gold beaded necklace carries a long yellow pole supporting an orange-and-pink canopy, and several people in orange robes follow. Probable Swamiji (probable) cues include long hair, rudraksha mala and ornate garland; appearance is consistent but the scene is a walking procession.
