A smiling man in saffron-orange robes rides in a procession, raising one arm with a white ring on the finger. He wears an ornate gold crown with pink tassels, a red bindi and white sacred markings on his forehead, and a garland of yellow marigolds, red roses, purple flowers, white blossoms and green leaves draped over his shoulders. A string of large gold beads hangs across his chest. Yellow flower garlands and a golden object blur in the foreground. Appearance-based cues match a probable Swamiji (probable) in the procession, decorated with crown, saffron robes, garlands and gold beads, though identity is uncertain.
