A smiling man in a procession stands on a decorated float, waving his right hand. He wears a gold crown with a red tilak on his forehead, long dark hair, a red and gold garland, and a white garment with a gold border over his shoulder. Behind him are red, green and orange tassels and a golden structure, flanked by yellow marigold garlands and pink and white flower strands. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, gold crown and ornate gold necklaces match the page's Swamiji claim, so this is an appearance-based candidate standing in person on a float.
