A smiling man sits on a decorated palanquin during an evening procession at night, raising one hand in greeting. He wears a gold crown, a thick garland of red roses, white jasmine and orange marigolds, gold bead necklaces, bracelets and rings, with an orange-brown dhoti and a tilak mark on his forehead. He grips a tall silver staff with his other hand. Above him hang a canopy of colourful tassels in yellow, pink, teal and maroon with gold finials, and silver trident-topped poles are visible nearby. Other attendants in white and a crowd with lights fill the background. Swamiji (probable) is seated in the palanquin, identified by the crown, saffron-orange clothing, garlands and ceremonial gold ornaments.
