A smiling man in a maroon and gold turban and maroon dhoti-style garment stands in an outdoor procession, wearing layered gold ornaments, a gold pendant with temple imagery, and thick garlands of red and pink flowers with green beads. He holds a silver handbell in his right hand. To the left, a attendant in an orange robe holds a silver lamp with a bright open flame, and another figure with a white-marked forehead stands behind. Dense green foliage blurs in the background. Swamiji (probable) appears as the central figure, identified by the ornate turban, rich gold jewellery and flower garlands worn during the ceremony.
