Outdoor procession walking along a red carpet between a red-brick wall and green foliage. A central figure in a dark brown robe with a maroon-red turban and heavy gold necklaces and a long pale garland walks barefoot; the figure is shown in a dark brown robe and is a candidate for Swamiji by appearance, with a turban, ornate gold necklaces and a garland, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a ceremonial procession. Behind him, a multicoloured fringed canopy is carried on a gold-topped pole. Attendants wear saffron-orange robes and white dhotis, one holding a drum, another in a saffron sari holding a flower-filled brass tray. Several people wear rudraksha malas and beads.
