Outdoor festival procession crowded with devotees under orange flags. A man with long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, a white and saffron-green flower garland and an orange robe stands at centre, smiling, his hands near a white cloth and three dark wooden poles held by devotees. Nearby, a woman in a light blue shawl holds an infant, and a man in white wears dark glasses. Orange-clad men in saffron shawls stand around, and a trident-like staff rises at right. The centre figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable).
