A nighttime procession photograph. A smiling man with long dark hair and a beard stands on a vehicle, holding a silver ceremonial staff in his raised hand. He wears a rudraksha mala and multiple garlands of white, yellow and red flowers, with a gold chain visible at his throat. Behind him is a large lion sculpture with a golden mane and a yellow garland, and a painted yellow and red face mask. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial garlands match the page's description of Swamiji at this event, but the identification is appearance-based only.
