Outdoor photo of a large carved wooden ratha or chariot-like structure, its upper tier decorated with white and orange marigold garlands and green leaves, with a thick white rope tied to its base. A bearded man in a maroon-red robe and a long rudraksha-style mala with a matching garland stands beside it, smiling and touching the structure. To the right, a dark-clothed attendant in a maroon waistcloth holds a drum-like object. Tall palm trees and bright sky frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): the bearded figure in maroon robes with long hair and a mala fits the candidate cues, shown as a standing participant in the procession.
