Night procession scene with a man seated on an ornate silver palanquin decorated with colourful tassels in red, green, yellow and blue, peacock feathers and gold leaves. The seated man wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a pink and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces, with a vibhuti mark on his forehead; his distinctive long hair and ornaments give him a probable match to the Swamiji candidate, seated as a figure being carried in procession. Bearers in white and saffron clothing hold the palanquin poles, and a man in a red and white turban stands in the lower left foreground. A silver canopy tops the seat, and a bright-lit ceremonial umbrella stands at the right.
