A group walks up a grassy hillside path with a hazy valley town and mountains behind them under a cloudy sky. In front, a man with long dark hair wears an orange dhoti, a leopard-print patterned upper garment, a brown waist belt and a beaded necklace, and is walking barefoot in sandals. Behind him, a line of devotees in orange and saffron shawls, white kurtas and mixed casual clothes follows, some carrying bags. A camera operator with a tripod stands to the left among them. Probable Swamiji is the front figure, identified by long swept-back hair, ornate leopard-print clothing, orange saffron dhoti and a beaded necklace, walking at the head of the procession.
