A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne on a decorated float, surrounded by a flower-covered arch of yellow marigolds, red roses and silver-and-blue fringe. He wears saffron-orange robes, a thick red-and-yellow flower garland, and has long dark hair with a red bindi on his forehead. He smiles, hands resting on red cushioned armrests, feet bare on a red footstool. Probable Swamiji seated on a festival throne: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, ceremonial garland and gold-ornamented seat. Foreground shows the heads of a few onlookers at the bottom edge of the frame.
