A man in a saffron-orange turban and saffron robe stands on a decorated float with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling. He wears a long green-and-yellow flower garland and a gold pendant necklace, with a red-orange cloth hanging beside him. Above him is a multi-tiered canopy in pink, blue and red trimmed with gold edging. Below, a bank of yellow and white flower garlands decorates the float, and an elderly man in white and an assistant in orange stand nearby. A procession setting with a pole and small flags is visible on the right. Swamiji (probable): the figure in orange with turban, saffron robe, garlands and gold pendant is an appearance-based candidate, shown in person on the procession float.
