A photograph of a ceremonial procession at a stepped stone ghat with tiered red steps lined with black lamp stands. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a flower-decorated ratha platform, wearing a white and orange flower garland and raising one hand in blessing. Golden trident staffs flank the throne. A bearded attendant in orange stands to the right, and a crowd of devotees fills the foreground, with several people in white clothes standing on the steps behind. Marigolds, roses and palm fronds decorate the chariot. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha-style garland and enthroned position are the visible cues for the central figure, who is seated on the decorated throne during the procession.
