Outdoor procession on a garden path lined with green shrubs and trees. At centre, a figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair wears a large red and yellow marigold garland and a gold-coloured necklace, walking barefoot with hands at chest. Behind him, a long-haired attendant in orange carries a ceremonial standard with a red and gold emblem on a pole, and another attendant in orange holds a metal tray. Other robed attendants in saffron and white walk along, and white-clad devotees stand with palms pressed together at the roadside. A white floor rangoli decorates the path. The centre figure's appearance matches the page's identity cues of long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial garland, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) in the procession.
