A photograph of a procession with a seated man on a golden throne under a colourful canopy hung with banana leaves and striped fabric panels decorated with floral and bird motifs. He wears a tall ornate gold crown, a pink garment, gold chain necklace and a thick white and red flower garland, and sits smiling with hands resting on the throne arm. Attendants in white clothing hold a large white fan and a long pole of the canopy, while a dense crowd of people, many in white and some in saffron or red, surrounds the palanquin. Swamiji (probable) appears through the crown, pink-robed ceremonial attire and gold necklaces, shown seated in procession.
