Outdoor street procession in daylight. A smiling man in an orange saffron shawl and matching orange turban, with a red tilak on his forehead and a heavy gold beaded necklace, stands at centre. Behind him a purple and gold canopy with red tassels shades the procession. A man in white robes on the left holds a tall wooden staff with a flag, a woman in white with grey hair and a red bindi stands nearby, and other people in white clothes move alongside. A green truck and a canvas-covered lorry are visible in the background, and a peacock-feather fan appears at the lower left. Swamiji (probable): the central figure's orange turban, saffron shawl, gold necklace and ceremonial procession setting match the cues for a probable identification.
