A crowd of devotees presses around a central figure during a procession under a decorated canopy with a golden trident-topped staff. The central figure has long dark hair, wears layered gold necklaces, a red flower garland, and a white garment with gold border, and smiles while reaching out. Behind, a man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a bearded man in orange stand near the canopy, which is hung with red, yellow and pink flowers and fabric. Many people in white and orange raise their hands in greeting. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a garland, matching the candidate cues in the event context.
