A night procession float, a ratha decorated with dense garlands of white, yellow, purple and red flowers arranged in a large arched frame. A man seated on a central throne (peetha) wears a dark turban, a gold crown-like headpiece, a saffron-orange wrap, and layered gold and beaded necklaces with a white flower garland. He holds a silver trident (trishul) and smiles. Two golden lion sculptures flank the seat, and a golden trident-topped finial rises above. Blurred onlookers in green and red clothing stand in the foreground, with coloured lights around the float. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the turban, saffron wrap, gold necklaces and trident cues.

He wears a saffron-brown robe, a rudraksha-style mala and a white flower garland, with a decorated headpiece, seated between two golden lion figures on a silver-patterned throne. A trident stands at his side. A glowing lamp and dark night sky are visible at the right, with a few decorated structures at the far left edge. Visible presence matches the page's procession context, but the seated figure's appearance is only moderately distinctive.2016-12-09
