Outdoor procession at a temple-style festival under palm trees beside a thatched-roof hut. A decorated palanquin with a striped canopy and garlands carries a deity murti and a framed portrait. Several men in white shirts and mundus pull or walk alongside holding wooden poles. A tall figure with long swept-back hair, wearing saffron/orange robes, a long gold-and-bead necklace and rudraksha malas, stands in the foreground smiling; the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable), who is in the procession among devotees. Other people in saffron and white stand nearby, and a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala is in the left foreground. Crowd spread around the procession.
