A night procession photograph of a smiling man standing on an ornate golden ratha or palanquin. He wears a tall golden crown with embossed details, a white jasmine garland and a red flower garland, and an orange saffron cloth draped over his bare shoulders with a rudraksha mala. Behind him, a second man in an orange garment with a red kumkum mark on his forehead looks upward. Red and gold draped fabric, decorated poles with bead trim, and flowers fill the foreground, with a dark background. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure in the crown, saffron cloth, jasmine garlands and rudraksha mala fits the expected appearance, but the identification is appearance-based only.
