Outdoor procession on a dirt road. A seated figure in orange robes, a matching orange turban and a white flower garland sits on a golden palanquin decorated with gold bells, orange, green and red tassels and white jasmine garlands. A bald man in an orange robe stands at the left, holding a fan-like object toward the seated figure. Behind them, devotees in white and onlookers in pink and red crowd the route, and orange flags and a handheld placard showing a portrait are visible. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the claimed identity only partly, with long hair and a turban, so identity is uncertain.
