A street procession in a busy Indian city lane with old multi-storey buildings, hanging wires and shopfronts. In the centre, a smiling man with long swept-back hair, a red bindi and an orange saffron shawl walks ahead, holding a long silver-tipped staff. He appears to be a probable Swamiji by the long hair, saffron clothing and visible presentation cues. Behind him, a man in a white kurta carries a silver tray with a small silver vessel and white cloth, and another man in white follows. On the right, a bespectacled man in black clothing wears an orange shawl and carries a bag. A large framed printed portrait of a man in an orange shawl, set against a temple-like backdrop, is held up on the left. Several onlookers stand along the street.
