A golden ratha-style chariot is shown in a procession on a dirt road with trees behind. A large printed banner on its side shows a close-up portrait of a man in a white head covering with a red tilak on his forehead, labelled with partial text reading 'DARSHAN TO CRORES OF PEOPLE'. Below it, panels of text and photos describe publication and healing camp work. Alongside the chariot, several saffron-robed followers walk carrying ornate umbrellas with colourful embroidered tops and long staffs. A man in white with an orange shawl stands at the right edge, and a figure in an orange shawl stands at the left edge. The banner portrait is a depiction, not a physical person present.
