A smiling man with long dark hair, wearing a golden crown and an orange saffron garment with a red-flowered garland, waves from a richly decorated golden palanquin or ratha. Multi-strand gold beaded necklaces with a gold pendant hang on his chest. The vehicle is draped with yellow and white marigold garlands, has green and blue tassels hanging from golden finials, and foliage at the front. Other people appear faintly in the background and bottom edge. The page identifies this as a procession with Swamiji, and the crown, saffron clothing, long hair, gold necklaces and palanquin setting are consistent with the probable Swamiji cues, so the candidate is labelled probable and the in_person value is used.
