A smiling man in a procession sits under a colourful canopy with fringed tassels in purple, teal, pink and gold. He raises his right hand in greeting and wears a gold ornate crown, a red tilak on his forehead, layered gold necklaces and a thick garland of pink, orange, yellow and white flowers over saffron-orange clothing. Several rudraksha bracelets and rings are visible. Behind him stand attendants, one with a shaved head, and a photographer holds up a large camera in warm, dim evening light. The ornate golden canopy pole and umbrella finials suggest a ratha or palanquin procession. Swamiji (probable): the man wears saffron clothing, a crown, a long swept-back hair style and rudraksha adornments, consistent with the page's identification.
