A photograph of a procession float. A smiling man in an orange-saffron orange-red turban and saffron robe, with a dark rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate silver-finished chariot decorated with marigold garlands. Above him, yellow, blue and red canopy umbrellas with tassels shade the float, and a silver lantern stands at the lower left. Another person's dark-clad shoulder appears at the right edge, and a hand is raised at the bottom. Streamers are visible in the background. Appearance cues include long hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala on a float, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate present in person. The surrounding crowd is not clearly visible.
