A night procession scene in which a smiling man in a rust-orange turban and matching saffron-brown robe sits on an ornate silver palanquin-style throne, holding a tall silver staff topped with a blue glass or crystal finial in his right hand. He wears a long layered rudraksha-style bead mala and heavy gold chain necklaces, with garlands of white flowers and yellow marigolds draped over his shoulders and a multicoloured bead garland across his chest. Behind him, the silver throne is richly embossed with floral and scrolling relief. Strings of red, green and blue lights glow in the dark background, and a few blurred devotees are visible at the lower edge. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold necklaces match the presentation cues for the figure on the throne, with a carried staff and garlands.
