Outdoor procession on a dirt path beside a tall orange-brick wall and palm trees. A central man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, a long necklace of golden-brown beads, and a gold armlet; he carries a long wooden staff and smiles. Swamiji (probable) in appearance-based cues: long hair, saffron clothing and ornate bead necklace. Around him, devotees are smeared with pink, yellow and blue powder paint; a man in white dhoti has a painted face and a beaded necklace, women wear white, pink and cream saris, and two children in a peach shirt and yellow dress walk hand in hand at the front right. Several people stand in the background near the trees.
