A smiling man rides in an ornate golden procession vehicle decorated with colourful tassels in green, pink, yellow and orange, and garlands of white and red flowers. He wears an ornate gold crown set with red and green stones, a red-and-white flower garland, and a dark rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold ornaments over orange clothing. A sword-like staff with a decorative hilt rests near him, and a bright floral arrangement sits in the foreground. Overall this looks like a festival chariot procession at night. Swamiji (probable): the crown, orange clothing, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments fit the page's description, though the appearance alone is not conclusive.
