A photograph of a procession outdoors under a clear sky with strung wires overhead. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a brown turban with a gold band, an orange saffron garment, a large white and red flower garland and gold ornaments, with eyes closed and a red tilak on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, a turban and saffron ornate clothing with gold necklaces, matching the page's claim of his presence. Beside him, a bearded man in orange robes wears a gold necklace, a shaved-headed man in white stands at left holding a long wooden staff, and a young man at right wears a cream garment with an orange shawl. Several other people fill the background, with a wooden structure and trees behind.
