A smiling man with long dark hair sits on a golden-framed palanquin or ratha under a canopy decorated with yellow, pink, red and green tassels. He wears a green-olive garment, a white and red flower garland across the chest, and a gold bead necklace; a red tilak marks his forehead and a gold armlet is on his upper arm. He raises one hand in a wave. Behind him a coral-coloured wall and marigold and white flower garlands hang from the poles. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and garlands on a festival procession vehicle.
