Outdoor procession scene on a street beside a large orange-and-white bus. A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead band and a central dot stands at the centre, smiling and raising one hand in greeting while holding a tall golden staff upright. He wears a rust-brown robe, a thick rudraksha mala and a white jasmine garland. Behind him a woman in a pink sari carries a brass tray on her head with a decorated pot and floral garland. A man in a white dhoti and glasses walks at left, with more devotees in the background. The appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable): a bearded figure with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron-toned robe, shown in a procession with a golden staff.
