A man in saffron-orange robes sits under an orange and blue fringed canopy during a procession, wearing an orange turban with a red mark on his forehead. He smiles and holds a tall silver staff with a trident-topped finial in one hand, and a curved silver sword in the other. He wears layered rudraksha malas, a large gold pendant necklace, and a thick garland of pink and white flowers. Behind him, another man in an orange turban and white facial markings holds a silver trident and wears orange robes and beaded necklaces. Silver ritual staves with trident finials and a bright glowing light fill the background. Probable Swamiji by appearance: a long-haired figure in ornate saffron clothing with rudraksha malas and gold ceremonial necklace, seated in procession.
