Night procession on a silver-ornate palanquin-style seat under a silver canopy with red drapes. A bearded man in a maroon-red robe and a long garland of white and pink flowers sits raised, holding a trident-like staff in one hand and a curved serpent-topped staff in the other, smiling. Peacock-feather fans flank the seat, and a man in a white head cloth with a tilak stands in front. A probable Swamiji is depicted in appearance-based cues: long dark hair, maroon robe, garland and rudraksha mala, seated as the honoured figure of the procession. Bright lights and a blurred foreground figure in orange are visible.
