A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak stands outdoors before a tall palm tree, pulling a white cloth down an orange rope while holding it aloft. He wears an orange robe and a long garland of white jasmine, yellow and red flowers with green leaves. Beside him, a figure in an orange robe holds a brass tray piled with white cloth and orange rope. At left, a copper pedestal and a garland-draped pillar stand near the flowers. Partially visible people in orange and white are at the lower right. Probable Swamiji cues include the long hair, flower garlands and orange robe, and he is presented as the central figure of a ritual procession-style event.
