A night procession photograph of a chariot drawn by dark horses. A bearded man with a gold crown sits on a silver-white throne decorated with red, yellow, green, and blue tassels, gold leaves, and peacock feathers. He wears a rust-orange dhoti, a gold necklace, a rudraksha-style mala, and a white and pink flower garland, holding a long white rod. Attendants in orange and red clothing stand at the sides, and a figure in yellow sits near the horses. Swamiji (probable): the man on the throne has long swept-back hair, a crown, ornate gold jewellery, and a saffron-orange garment, consistent with the page's reference to a procession with Swamiji.
