A smiling man in a maroon turban and red-and-gold garland raises one hand beside an ornate gold-leaf chariot or palanquin decorated with white jasmine garlands and pink and teal tassels. A gold ceremonial ornament and bangles are visible on his wrist and arm. Behind him, an orange and yellow umbrella canopy and a decorated structure with a saffron cloth hang in a crowded street procession setting, with a few onlookers partially visible on the left.
