A smiling man rides a richly decorated golden palanquin or ratha under a large orange and blue canopy with multicoloured tassels in green, purple, pink and yellow. He wears an ornate golden crown, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style garland of pink and green beads, with an orange shawl over his shoulder. Pink and white flower garlands drape the golden vehicle, and a silver ceremonial sword stands beside him. A palm tree is visible in the background. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure on the palanquin, identified by his crown, saffron-orange shawl, and garland cues.
