A smiling man in a procession raises his right hand in greeting while seated on an ornate gilded chariot. He wears a rust-red turban, gold bangles, a gold necklace and a garland of red and yellow flowers, with a bare upper body. Above him is an orange canopy with teal and orange tassels, gold poles wrapped in flower garlands, and a gilt trident-topped finial. A ceremonial parasol with hanging gold-toned pendants stands at left, and a striped cushion and marigold-like flowers sit below. Several other people are partly visible at the edges. The appearance is consistent with the probable Swamiji (Nithyananda) based on the red turban, gold ornaments and garlanded rudraksha-style setting, though this remains an appearance-based label.

A man in an orange-red turban and saffron-maroon robe with heavy garlands of orange marigolds and rudraksha beads waves to the crowd from the golden seat; he wears ornate gold necklaces and bangles, and the figure is a person by appearance cues. Behind him, a man in white dhoti and shawl holds a long orange-red staff, and a bare-chested attendant in a white dhoti with gold armbands holds a red fan. Gold-tasselled bells with multicoloured tassels in green, red, purple and blue hang from the palanquin poles, and a uniformed police officer stands at left beside a marigold-draped rail.
