A photograph of a figure seated on an ornate gilded chariot or palanquin with gold-finished poles and fringed canopy in green, orange and pink tassels. The seated person wears a gold crown, a red garment, layered ceremonial gold and red-bead necklaces, and a rudraksha-style mala, with a red tilak on the forehead. Garlands of marigolds and purple flowers hang from the canopy, and a white-and-gold ceremonial staff stands nearby. The setting appears to be an outdoor procession, with a bright sky behind.
