A photograph of a long red carpet lane inside a white tent during a procession, with rows of people lining both sides, many with palms pressed together in greeting. Those on the left wear yellow, orange and red garments with red shawls; those on the right wear white dhotis and white shirts with red-orange shawls. In the centre, a group in saffron and orange robes walks away from the camera, and a yellow umbrella is held aloft near the middle. Two framed portraits of a man with long hair are visible on the tent walls at the far end, and the lights of the tent ceiling are overhead. Roughly 100 people are visible.

A procession walks down a red carpet runner in a covered temple hall with orange walls and a corrugated roof. At the centre, a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with long hair swept back, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, walks barefoot under a multicoloured ceremonial umbrella with a fringed canopy. Behind him, men in white dhotis with gold-bordered shawls and gold necklaces walk alongside women in orange and white saris. A man in white kurta holds a tall yellow and gold ceremonial standard with an emblem at the left. Decorated multicoloured ceremonial poles line the hall, and framed photographs hang on the walls. The centred figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance, based on the saffron attire, swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, and the page notes his presence at this event.
