Outdoor procession on a dirt path through green trees and scrub, with a large crowd of devotees dressed mostly in white. Several colourful striped umbrellas and canopies are carried above the group. A central figure in white robes with a long orange-saffron shawl walks forward at the front, with a mala-style necklace; the figure's long hair and saffron shawl are visible cues, so this is Swamiji (probable) leading the procession. A man in white with an orange shawl walks at the right edge and a man in white holds a camera on the path. A tall white pole stands in the foreground beside a stone platform. Several people are visible in orange and red garments among the white-clad crowd.
