Night procession photograph of a decorated ceremonial palanquin or ratha. A seated bearded man in orange-saffron robes, with a gold crown, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a white flower garland, sits on a gold throne flanked by two golden lion figures. Behind him rises a large floral arch of white, yellow, purple and orange flowers with a patterned heart-shaped frame. Lit red and yellow flags flank the float, and devotees crowd the foreground, one in white holding a parasol-like shade. The seated figure's appearance matches Swamiji (probable) by saffron robes, crown and beaded necklaces, but the identification is uncertain.
