Photograph inside a corrugated-roof hall of a man seated on a flower-decorated palanquin or ratha-style seat with a gold canopy. He wears an orange robe and a red-and-white garland, has long dark hair, and smiles while raising a hand. A woman in a white sari with a long braid walks in front of the seat. Behind, a girl in a yellow-and-pink outfit, a boy in white, and men in white shirts and dhotis stand watching; one person holds up a camera. A bright bulb hangs from the ceiling and a gold kalasha sits at the base of the seat. The procession appears to be underway.
