Its forehead and trunk are marked with white and pink designs, and it wears a richly embroidered red, blue and gold cloth with floral and peacock-like motifs. Two barefoot men in white dhoti and cream or light green shirts walk beside it, one guiding the trunk with a hand. Shops with colourful goods and signboards line the street, and a bundle of white flowers sits at the bottom edge. A timestamp reads 31/05/2025 18:38.
