A procession on a paved courtyard under a covered shed with hanging orange and red decorative lamps. At centre, a bare-chested man in a deep maroon-red dhoti and wrap, with a long swept-back hairstyle, a red-and-gold ornate gold necklace, gold bangles and a red tilak mark, walks with eyes lowered. Behind him, a man in white dhoti with gold borders holds a tall gold-handled umbrella with a red and gold fringed canopy over him. Other men in white and saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, and women in white saris with gold borders, follow in a line, with more onlookers and devotees in the background near a decorated ritual structure. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, a gold ceremonial necklace, saffron-maroon clothing and a tilak, and is shielded by an umbrella, consistent with an honoured guru in procession.
