Night photograph of a street procession. A central bearded man with long dark hair and a white forehead mark smiles while wearing a large garland of white, yellow, pink and purple flowers over a brown-orange robe and a brown rudraksha-style mala. He holds his hands together, dusted with white powder. Beside him, younger men in orange robes with rudraksha malas and gold ornate necklaces carry a gold-coloured kalasha-like vessel with embossed figures. Other devotees with white forehead marks stand behind in the crowd. Probable Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, distinguished by long hair, a garland, a brown-orange robe and a rudraksha mala.
