A smiling man with a red tilak on his forehead sits on a blue-draped platform in front of a large colourful statue of a lion and a figure with a blue-green body. He wears a saffron-orange robe, multiple rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and a long garland of white, yellow, red and green flowers. He holds a white ceremonial staff in his right hand. Behind him a bull figure and a decorated mask appear on the procession vehicle at night. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, a full beard and ornate rudraksha adornments, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
