Outdoor procession scene at dusk. A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne mounted on a decorated float, wearing a golden crown, a pink garment draped over his body, a white and orange flower garland, a rudraksha-style bead mala and gold necklace, with a red kumkum mark on his forehead. The throne is framed by colourful painted pillars in blue, yellow, green and orange with bird motifs, garlanded with marigolds and tuberose, and a banana-leaf canopy. Devotees in the foreground, including women and a man in white, watch from the roadside. The figure matches the Swamiji cues: crown, pink ornate clothing and bead mala on a throne, so the identification is probable.
