Outdoor photograph of a procession on a dirt path in a rural campus setting, with a long low tiled-roof building and laundry hanging on its veranda behind. A long-haired man in an orange shawl over white clothes walks in the centre, carrying a bunch of yellow flowers. Beside him on the left, a bearded man in white dhoti and orange shawl walks barefoot. Around them, many children in white kurtas, white dhotis, orange sashes, and dresses walk barefoot, some wearing rudraksha-style neck beads.

A large crowd walks in a procession outdoors beneath palm trees, with a decorated temple gopuram tower visible in the background. At centre, a man with long swept-back hair wears an orange saffron shawl and a heavy gold necklace, appearing to be a Swamiji (probable) by his long hair, saffron clothing and gold ceremonial necklace. Beside him, a man in white holds a tall wooden pole with an orange flag, and several people in white dhotis and orange shawls, some wearing rudraksha malas, walk nearby. A woman in a white sari and an older bald man in white shirt and dhoti are also in the procession.
