A photograph of a palanquin procession with a central figure in an orange-saffron turban, orange robe and long white and red flower garlands, with a rudraksha mala across the chest. He is seated on an ornate carved wooden seat under colourful tasselled canopy finials in purple, red, green and orange. To the left, a bald man in orange robes holds a round orange and blue emblem with a white bird motif, and a gold-topped staff decorated with orange and white flowers stands in front. Another orange-clad attendant is at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the central figure wears long swept-back dark hair, a saffron turban, rudraksha beads and a ceremonial garland, consistent with the page's description of a Palaki procession.
