He wears thick layers of red and white flower garlands and a rudraksha-style necklace, with white markings on his face and a red tilak on his forehead. Beside him, a shaven-headed man in a maroon-brown robe holds a silver spear-like staff, and another attendant stands behind. Scene appears to be an outdoor procession. Swamiji (probable) is the person in the golden crown and red robe, identified by the ornate gold crown, layered garlands and ceremonial regalia.
