Outdoor procession on bare dirt ground. A central man with long swept-back dark hair, tilak on forehead, wears a white dhoti-style garment with gold border, a thick red and white flower garland, and layered gold necklaces; he smiles and holds his hands together in front. Behind him, a man in saffron/orange robes with a long beard and gold beads stands at left, and a younger man in a yellow-orange kurta with an orange shawl and tilak stands beside him. To the right, saffron-robed men hold a tall gold staff, and an older man in a beige kurta stands at far right. A red and gold ceremonial umbrella with tassels is visible at top. Swamiji (probable): the central figure's long hair, ornate gold necklaces and garland cues are distinctive.
