A seated figure in pink clothing and a garland sits on a gold-trimmed throne beneath a multicoloured canopy, with a trident placed beside it. Drummers in orange and saffron clothing play large drums while walking, and a young boy in a teal kurta and white dhoti plays a cymbal-like instrument. Other participants in orange, white and lavender dress stand along the procession route, and a child in a red dress watches. A second canopy and trident appear at the right.
