Night photograph of a festival procession. A smiling person in an ornate white and gold crown with a red-and-green centre jewel waves with the right hand while seated on a flower-decorated vehicle. The person wears an orange saffron garment, a long white and red jasmine-style garland, a gold necklace, and gold bangles. Behind the seated figure, the vehicle is covered in yellow, orange, red and purple marigolds and white flower strands, with a purple canopy overhead and bright stage lights on the left. Two people in white clothing stand at the edges, and a basket of offerings is visible. Probable Swamiji is shown in the seated position: the crown, long hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace and rudraksha-style adornment are the qualifying cues, and the role is festival procession honoree.
