A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden palanquin or ratha beneath a canopy with colourful orange, red and teal tassels and fabric panels. He smiles and wears a thick red floral garland with white flower accents over a red shawl draped across his bare shoulders. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Blurred white and pink flowers and green leaves frame the foreground, and gold-trimmed floral garlands decorate the palanquin base. The canopy and palanquin suggest a procession setting. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure on the palanquin, identified by long swept-back hair, a red garland, red shawl and ceremonial palanquin.2010-12-22December 22 20102010-12-22December 22 20102010-12-22December 22 20102010-12-22A golden ornate ratha procession vehicle decorated with white jasmine garlands, marigold festoons, gold-tasselled canopies and red, green and yellow fringe.

Yellow and orange ceremonial umbrellas with fringe and tassels shelter the carriage, and hanging tassels in green, maroon and orange decorate its canopy. Several attendants stand at the edges, one holding a yellow umbrella pole, and a few onlookers are visible at the bottom edge. a person's appearance cannot be confirmed from this view alone, so the seated figure is recorded as unsure.2010-12-22A photograph of a golden ratha-style procession vehicle, decorated with heavy garlands of white jasmine and purple and magenta flowers, with yellow and red marigold strands. A man with short dark hair sits smiling on a cushioned seat, wearing a thick red flower garland around his neck, an orange robe and red dhoti-style lower cloth. Above him stands a large yellow ceremonial umbrella with fringe and tassels, and a second red and green umbrella with gold tassels, with a red embroidered banner on the right. Onlookers are partly visible at the bottom edge of the frame, along the procession route.
