A man with long, swept-back dark hair rides on a decorated procession vehicle, waving his right hand and smiling. He wears a leopard-print shawl over an orange garment, with a white jasmine garland and a red-and-green floral garland around his neck, and a rudraksha-style ornamental necklace. Behind him rise tall tassels in yellow, green, pink and blue, and gold-trimmed decorative poles on the chariot. On the left, a purple and pink floral garland hangs from a gold pillar, and a man in white stands in the background among green leaves. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by long hair, orange clothing, ornate garlands and a procession setting, with the ceremonial vehicle indicating a ratha procession.
