Outdoor photo of a procession on a metal-railed walkway beside tall trees. A smiling man with long dark hair, wearing a red-maroon and gold-bordered cloth, a thick gold-bead necklace and a brown rudraksha-style mala, holds an orange umbrella high. Beside him, a shaved-headed attendant in a matching red-maroon wrap and mala carries a silver kalasha-type pot on a plate with flowers and fruit, and a trident is visible among the ritual items. Swamiji (probable): the centre figure shows long hair, saffron/orange-and-gold clothing, a ceremonial gold-bead necklace and a mala, supporting an in_person label, with uncertainty about exact identity.
