Outdoor photograph of a smiling man seated on a colourful ratha or palanquin under palm trees. He wears an orange turban, orange robes, a long white and purple flower garland and a ceremonial mala with gold-toned beads. He holds a white lotus flower in one hand, with a gold kalasha-like vessel and flower offerings at his side. Behind him hang red, green, yellow and purple tassels. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robes, flower garlands and seated ceremonial position on a decorated vehicle match the presentation of the page's subject, the seated figure is the honoured guest of the procession.
