A smiling man in an orange saffron robe sits on a silver ornate palanquin or ratha seat, framed by thick garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds, and purple and white flowers. He wears a gold-embroidered headband with a central gold emblem, a tan turban-style wrap, a red kumkum mark on his forehead, and a gold necklace of round gold beads with a rudraksha-like adornment. He holds a white ceremonial staff in his hand. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair and ornate saffron clothing with ceremonial gold necklaces and garlands.
