A smiling man with long dark swept-back hair stands on a festival float beneath a tall gilded canopy pole and hanging purple, red, green and teal tassels. He wears an ornate silver crown with a red central stone, a red bindi and an orange saffron garment draped over the shoulders. Heavy gold ceremonial necklaces and a thick garland of red flowers hang on his chest. Marigold and yellow flower garlands decorate the canopy against a bright blue sky, and a gilded carved base sits in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is present in this procession; the cues are the long hair, the saffron garment, the gold necklaces and the crown, though the appearance is only partly clear.
