A smiling man stands in a procession, facing right against a pale sky. He wears a gleaming gold crown with a red tilak on his forehead, long dark hair, an orange garment, and a chunky gold and bead necklace. Large garlands of yellow marigolds and red roses drape his shoulders with green leaves woven in. Behind him is an ornate golden structure with green and red tassels and red plumes. The page's Swamiji flag is yes, and the man's appearance shows orange clothing, long swept hair, a crown and ornate necklaces, so he is a probable Swamiji (probable) riding in the procession. Only one person is visible.
