A man seated with eyes closed sits in a procession setting, wearing an ornate gold crown with a dark feather plume on his head. He has a red vertical tilak on his forehead, a saffron-orange garment on his shoulders, and a long garland of white and maroon flowers with gold beads around his neck. Behind him, a dense display of shimmering gold and silver tinsel streamers and striped ribbons fans out against a dusky lavender sky. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, long hair, ornate gold crown and garland fit a presentation of a sannyasi in procession, as the page indicates a Kumbh Mela event.
