A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless garment and orange wrap adorns a decorated chariot or palanquin with multicoloured flower garlands in yellow, orange, red, pink and white. He wears an orange headband with a feather ornament and is smiling as he reaches toward the garlands. Behind him stands a man in white with an orange shawl, and a second man in white stands further back. On the right, a deity murti is dressed in green and orange cloth beside gold footwear and a purple drape. A canopy, a blue sky and a water tank are visible. The orange-clad man has distinctive long hair, a headband and orange clothing, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate shown in person.
