A man seated on an ornate procession chariot, smiling with palms pressed together in anjali. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe, a long white and red flower garland, and a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder. Long dark hair falls behind him and a red bindi marks his forehead. Behind him are colourful tassels in pink, green and blue, a gold-and-purple floral pillar, and a red-and-gold canopy. Blurred figures in white stand in the background. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and ornate garlands and shawl match the page's claim, so this is an appearance-based candidate seated in a ratha/chariot procession.
