A smiling man rides on a golden procession chariot decorated with marigold and yellow flower garlands, red tassels and fresh greenery. He wears an orange garment, a heavy gold-toned necklace of beads, a long red and white flower garland, and a gold crown with a red tilak on his forehead. He raises his right hand in a wave toward the crowd. Below, a partially visible camera operator and spectators stand at the edge of the frame. Probable Swamiji in procession: long swept-back hair, orange ceremonial clothing, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and an ornate crown fit the page's identification, so the candidate is shown on a moving ratha.
