Outdoor procession under a multicoloured fringed canopy with palm trees behind. A smiling man with long dark hair and a grey-brown turban, marked with a red bindi, wears a maroon-burgundy garment with ornate gold-toned embroidered collar and a gold necklace, standing on a decorated carriage. Around him, young men and boys in white dhotis and shawls, some with red and white forehead markings, watch. A boy in white with glasses holds a silver ceremonial staff with ornate finial. A white-and-red cushioned seat is visible at right, with a dark stone pillar and a man in a blue shirt behind. Swamiji appearance is a probable match: long swept-back hair, turban, ornate gold collar and necklace, and he is the central figure of the procession.
