A man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne on a decorated festival platform, smiling. He wears a gold crown, a pink saffron-toned dhoti-style garment, a white and red flower garland, a gold beaded mala and a gold necklace, with gold armbands. Behind him are tall decorated pillars with painted birds, floral patterns and yellow marigold garlands, and a red-and-gold deity or portrait is visible above. Below him are white and orange flower offerings. Several people in white clothing sit in the foreground, partly obscuring the view, and one holds a hand near the platform.

He wears a gold crown-like headdress, a gold necklace, a red and white flower garland and a gold armband. Marigold and white flower garlands and green leaves decorate the canopy and base of the palanquin, and a golden deity figure appears in the background. Several people in the foreground watch the procession in an outdoor setting. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair and a crown and ornate saffron-pink ceremonial clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.2010-12-26A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, at the centre of a decorated outdoor float or palanquin.

A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne mounted on a decorated float, wearing a golden crown, a pink garment draped over his body, a white and orange flower garland, a rudraksha-style bead mala and gold necklace, with a red kumkum mark on his forehead. The throne is framed by colourful painted pillars in blue, yellow, green and orange with bird motifs, garlanded with marigolds and tuberose, and a banana-leaf canopy. Devotees in the foreground, including women and a man in white, watch from the roadside. The figure matches the Swamiji cues: crown, pink ornate clothing and bead mala on a throne, so the identification is probable.2010-12-26December 26 20102010-12-26December 26 20102010-12-26December 26 20102010-12-26A photo of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne-like seat in a festive outdoor setting, framed by tall colourful banners in blue, yellow, orange and green with bird motifs.
