A man seated on an ornate gold-and-silver palanquin or ratha during a festival procession, smiling broadly. He wears an orange saffron garment, a gold crown-like headpiece, a red and white beaded mala with a large gold necklace, and bangles, while holding a silver staff and a curved sword. Behind him hang tassels in pink, purple, blue and green, bells, and garlands of pink, yellow and orange flowers. A decorated drum with blue motifs and palm fronds fill the background. Probable Swamiji cues: the swept-back hair, crown and saffron clothing with rudraksha-style mala visible; the page indicates Swamiji was present at this event, so this candidate is shown in person on a procession vehicle.

He wears a gold crown with a turquoise and gold element, a saffron-orange garment, layered gold and red beaded necklaces, and smiles with eyes closed. Green, yellow and orange tassels hang from golden poles, and palm trees and a clear blue sky form the background.
