A smiling man with long dark hair stands on an elevated maroon velvet-covered platform during a procession, wearing an ornate gold crown with filigree and a fan-shaped golden ornament, a red tilak on his forehead, a white-marked brow, a garland of yellow and red flowers, and an orange garment. Behind him is a tall golden ratha-style canopy hung with orange, red, green and magenta tassels, golden bells, and strands of marigolds and white blossoms. Blue sky and leafy greenery frame the scene. Swamiji (probable) is the person in the crown and orange clothing, seated as the honoured figure at the head of the procession.
