A central figure in an orange-red turban, ornate gold necklaces, and multi-coloured flower garlands stands on a golden ceremonial chariot, smiling and raising both palms in greeting; this is a Swamiji (probable) depiction of Paramahamsa Nithyananda in saffron-orange clothing with a crown-like turban and ornate gold adornments. Two women attendants in orange saris with yellow borders and rudraksha malas hold long poles beside him. A bald man in orange sits behind on the chariot. Above, orange and yellow umbrellas with tassels and a hanging fringe of golden bells, pink tassels and marigold garlands frame the scene.
