A man with long dark hair and eyes closed holds a silver trident aloft in front of an ornate gold peacock-feather fan-shaped backdrop with a red cushion. He wears a red-brown ochre cloth, a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace and hoop earrings, with white and red tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands a large dark stone structure with a golden canopy above. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold backdrop, rudraksha mala and gold necklace are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this Krishna Janmashtami procession, though the image does not clearly confirm identity. Only one physical person is visible.
