A photograph of a long-haired, bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, raising one hand in greeting while smiling. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style garment, a pink-and-gold embroidered shawl, and layered gold and beaded necklaces. Gold trident-topped staffs flank the throne on a festival procession vehicle, decorated with marigold garlands at the top left. Behind him, a large seated crowd in orange, white and blue clothing fills tiered rows, with small oil lamps glowing in the stands. The scene is a night procession with blurred foreground railing. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long hair, ornate gold throne, pink-and-gold shawl and layered necklaces match the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. Crowd members and the seated man are physically present; a visible photo credit appears in the lower right.
