A decorated golden ratha procession vehicle, draped with marigold and rose garlands and hung with tasseled canopy streamers in red, pink, green, orange and blue, carries a seated figure in an orange robe wearing a gold crown and a flower garland, holding a sword. Devotees in white and orange clothing walk alongside the chariot under a clear blue sky, with a large orange-and-gold umbrella at the upper left. The figure has long dark hair and a red-and-white garland, and appears to be the honoured central figure of the procession; the appearance-based cues of long hair, crown, saffron clothing and garlands are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) label. Around 15 to 20 people are visible in the crowd.
