A smiling man rides a decorated procession float, raising his right hand in greeting. He wears a gold crown with a golden ornament, long dark hair swept back, a saffron-orange garment, and a rudraksha-style mala with a garland of red roses and yellow marigolds draped over his shoulders with a white flower at his neck. Behind him stand gold ornamental poles with green and blue tassels, and a yellow and orange cloth-covered float edge is visible in the foreground beside sprigs of greenery. Trees blur in the background. The appearance matches the probable Swamiji profile with crown, saffron clothing and mala cues, so this is a probable Swamiji on a procession float.
