A decorated ceremonial chariot procession. A seated man with long hair, a red vibhuti-style mark on his forehead, orange robes and a red garland sits on an ornate golden throne-like platform atop a float covered in marigold and yellow flower garlands and dangling gold bells, red and green tassels. Multicoloured parasol canopies with emblems overhead, a golden trident and a golden kalasha-like finial are at the right. Spectators in white shirts and orange garlands crowd the foreground, some reaching up with raised hands. Overcast daylight with trees behind. The seated figure appears to be a person, based on long swept hair, orange robes and ornate chariot seating, indicating the central honoured figure in the procession.
