A large framed portrait mounted on the roof of a moving vehicle, with a white jasmine garland draped over it and scattered pink petals on the roof. The portrait shows a smiling man in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe, raising one hand in blessing, labelled "Paramahamsa SRI NITHYANANDA SWAMIGAL" in print. In the foreground, through the windshield, a man in white clothes sits inside the vehicle, and a few more people in white and orange are visible at the roadside. Trees, a pink building and a pale sky form the background. The portrait is a printed depiction, not a person in the scene; the candidate's cues are a saffron turban and robe with a jasmine garland, which is probable Swamiji on the printed portrait.2005-11-14November 14 20052005-11-14June 19 20142014-06-19 +3 copiesNovember 14 20052005-11-14November 14 20052005-11-14A street procession at an ornately decorated golden ratha, a small gilded vehicle built on a three-wheeler base with gold filigree panels and a canopy.
