A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate golden palanquin decorated with red, pink and green tassels and white and purple flower garlands. He wears an orange saffron garment under a leopard-print shawl, with a red and white flower garland and a gold-beaded mala around his neck. He smiles while gripping a golden pillar wrapped in purple and pink flowers, with a red tiger-striped cushion behind him. Swamiji (probable): his long hair, saffron clothing, leopard shawl and ceremonial garlands fit the in-procession presentation, so this is a procession scene. Golden flowers and marigold petals scatter across the scene.
