A photograph of a flower-decorated ceremonial palanquin procession at a sacred bathing-tank event. A man seated on a gold-framed red throne-like seat wears saffron-orange clothing, long swept-back hair, and layered red and white rudraksha-style malas with a white floral garland; the description appears to match a probable Swamiji candidate, seated and smiling. Marigold and orange flower garlands and yellow blooms drape the palanquin. A golden trident is held upright at left by a young man in a red-orange shirt. Spectators sit on red steps behind, several in white, with a drummer visible at left and water spray in the air.
