Night procession on a gilded, flower-garlanded chariot under a large red canopy with blue and gold fringed tassels. A smiling figure in an orange-saffron robe with a gold crown stands at the centre of the chariot holding a tall silver staff, with garlands of marigolds and white flowers draped around. Beside and behind him, men in white and saffron clothing stand on the platform; one holds a silver trident and another stands in white at the right edge. Trident-topped poles and marigold garlands fill the frame. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure in the orange robe and gold crown, with distinctive crown and saffron clothing cues, is carried on the procession chariot.
