A smiling man rides on a richly decorated golden chariot during a festival procession. He wears a gold crown with a red bindi, an orange-saffron garment, and a red beaded mala with a gold necklace. The gold chariot has a tall gold pole with multicoloured tassels in pink, blue, green, yellow and purple, and is garlanded with marigolds, white flowers and red blooms. Palm trees and a blue sky stand behind. A probable Swamiji candidate with crown, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style mala is seated on the ratha; the page identifies the event as a 2012 Nithyananda Mission Day celebration.
