A street procession in Salem, Tamil Nadu. In the centre, a man in an orange turban, orange robes and a long black rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling with eyes closed. Behind him, young men in saffron-orange robes carry tall golden staffs and orange flags with a dark emblem, and a man on the right wears orange robes, round glasses, a red tilak and a heavy gold necklace. Crowd members in white shirts line the background, and a painted street banner with portraits and deity images hangs on a wall behind them. The central figure's appearance with long hair, an orange turban and ornate clothing gives a probable identification as Swamiji, shown in procession as a devotee-led event, though the gathered attendees' presence stays uncertain.
