A photograph of a procession float decorated with garlands of red roses, yellow and orange marigolds, and white flowers, with red and green tassels and gold bells on a canopy above. A smiling man with long dark hair and a red forehead mark sits on a red and gold cushioned seat, wearing an orange garment and a rudraksha mala with a gold ceremonial necklace. He holds a sprig of greenery. The sky is pale behind the float. A procession is shown, and the man's appearance with long hair, orange clothing and mala matches the page's Swamiji cues, so he is a probable Swamiji seated on the decorated ratha. One person is visible.
