Seated on the howdah is a figure in orange robes and an orange cap, with long dark hair, holding the railing. Swamiji (probable) is described by the saffron clothing, orange cap and long hair. The elephant's head is patterned with painted designs, and a white shield emblem with a red centre hangs on the howdah cloth against a clear blue sky.
