A man in a flowing orange-saffron robe rides a richly decorated procession vehicle, possibly a ratha or palanquin. He wears an ornate gold crown and a rudraksha-style gold bead necklace layered with white jasmine garlands, and has a red bindi on his forehead and long dark hair. Behind and around him hang tassels in red, green and blue, with gold bells, and the vehicle is wrapped in marigold and white flower garlands. The swami figure appears distinctive with long hair, saffron clothing, a crown and gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji identification in person.
