A smiling man in a saffron-orange robe and a rust-coloured turban stands under a large orange canopy hung with fringed teal, purple and magenta tassels and yellow marigold garlands. He raises his right arm in greeting and holds a tall silver staff with a silver trident-shaped top in his left hand. He wears layered garlands of pink and white flowers, a long rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with a red bindi and white vibhuti on his forehead. Behind him, several men in orange and white ritual clothing with white-painted foreheads stand near silver ceremonial implements. Swamiji (probable): the visible cues are the orange robe, turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with a procession leader, and the figure is in person.
