A smiling man in a procession sits on an ornate golden-and-red decorated float, raising his right hand in greeting. He wears a deep maroon turban, a maroon robe with an orange-gold shawl, a heavy rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant necklace, plus gold bangles. Marks of sacred ash are on his forehead and arms. Behind him stand a man in white with gold trim and a woman in white, with a crowd and roadside signage in the background. Orange and purple cushions and a golden pot sit beside him, with scattered flower petals on the float. Appearance-based candidate (probable): the figure matches the Swamiji cues of a maroon turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace on a ritual procession float.
