Night procession photograph in a misty, lamp-lit crowd. A man with long dark hair, a gold crown, a red bindi and an orange shawl over saffron clothing sits on a raised seat, smiling, with a thick pink and white flower garland and gold necklaces. Behind him a seated man in orange holds a gold trident, and a standing attendant in orange holds a ceremonial staff with bells. Another older man in orange with glasses and a white forehead mark sits to the right. Overhead is a canopy with blue and orange fringe, and a silver trident is visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure wears a gold crown, long hair, an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala with gold necklaces, consistent with the page's account of a procession.
