A procession on a dirt path beside a red brick wall and green trees. A central man in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl wears a large red flower garland, gold ornate necklaces, a dark crown-like headpiece and an orange-yellow sash across his chest; he walks barefoot in orange footwear. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas carry staffs, and others in saffron-orange robes walk alongside. Colourful ceremonial umbrellas with red, yellow and green fringed canopies are held overhead. On the right, a man in white carries a decorated silver-and-red tray with flowers, and another person carries a brass kalasha pot. This looks like a ritual procession, with the central figure appearing to be Swamiji (probable) based on his ornate gold necklaces, red garland, crown-like headpiece and saffron-toned clothing.2016-07-19December 15 20142014-12-15March 11 20172017-03-11 +1 copiesA procession on a dirt path under trees, with several men in saffron and orange robes and gold-bordered white dhotis.
