A figure seated in an ornate gold palanquin with a red canopy, decorated with gold finials, tassels in pink, purple, orange and green, and garlands of marigold and white flowers. The seated person wears a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace over a golden garment, with red and purple floral garlands draped across the shoulders; the palanquin's gold carved frame is strewn with garlands. A woman in a red sari stands at the left edge and a man in white with folded hands kneels at the lower right, beside a banner with Kannada text and photographs. Palm trees and sunlight fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, and is riding in the palanquin as the honoured person.
