Outdoor festival procession in a leafy garden with string lights and colourful tassels overhead. A bearded man in a red-brown saffron-toned dress with a red-and-gold turban and a heavy gold necklace and large rudraksha-style mala stands at centre holding a silver trident-topped staff, with a pink and white flower garland. Swamiji (probable): long hair, ornate gold jewellery and a crown-like turban, identified by these cues rather than his face. Around him, women in pink, green and orange saris and men in orange and red robes dance and raise their hands; one woman plays a large drum. Ornate umbrellas with gold fringe stand above the crowd.
