A photograph of a flower-decorated golden palanquin during a procession. Strings of white jasmine garlands drape the golden frame, with orange and green tassels and a red umbrella overhead. A seated figure in orange robes wears a white garland and a rudraksha mala, with long dark hair and an orange head wrap, and a round blue and gold shield-like ornament behind him. A shaved-headed man in white sits behind him on the palanquin, and a large white feather fan blurs in the right foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, orange robes and rudraksha mala are the cues, and he sits in a palanquin in procession.
