Low-angle photo of a festival procession on a decorated silver palanquin or ratha. A standing man in saffron-orange robes, a golden headband, gold beaded necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala with purple and white bead accents smiles while standing beside a seated figure in orange robes under a red parasol with fringe. Garlands of yellow, red and white flowers drape the platform and seat. Swamiji (probable) appears as the standing figure with long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron clothing; the seated figure is a statue or effigy in orange cloth, not a physical person.
