A smiling man rides in a procession under an orange canopy with blue and purple tassels, raising his right hand in greeting. He wears a gold crown with a sunburst back piece, sandalwood and white tilak marks on his forehead, and a red garland of flowers with white blossoms. His saffron-orange robe is layered over a maroon top, with a rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklace. A large silver trident is mounted on the canopy pole behind him, and garlanded marigold strands hang beside it. Another man in maroon stands at the right edge and a bare-chested attendant in orange appears at the left. Swamiji (probable) based on the orange robe, golden crown, rudraksha mala and ceremonial procession setting.
