Close-up photograph of a smiling man in a procession, wearing an ornate gold crown with a gold finial and a gold wheel-shaped ornament behind it. Long dark hair falls past his ears, a white and red forehead mark is visible, and he wears thick garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers with green leaves. Orange cloth and gold ornaments show at his neck. A red and green ceremonial umbrella or canopy rises behind him against a pale sky. The page describes a procession with Swamiji present; appearance cues are a crown, long hair, garlands and orange clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji in a procession.
