Outdoor street procession in a village. A black-and-white horse pulls a red-upholstered carriage with a red canopy fringed with crystal beads. A man in saffron-orange clothing and an orange turban sits on the carriage, hands pressed together in greeting, with a garland around his neck; the appearance is consistent with the Swamiji candidate. A man in a purple shirt walks at the horse's head holding the reins, and men in white shirts and orange garments stand beside the carriage. A rainbow-coloured tassel decorates the horse's harness. Roadside posters of portraits are visible behind, with power lines and trees overhead.
