A photograph of a street procession in a Trinidad residential road: a grey pickup truck's open bed is decorated as a small canopied palanquin with yellow and white draped fabric, pink cloth, and hanging red and orange ornaments. Seated within is a large printed portrait of a figure in an orange turban and saffron-orange cloth, garlanded with orange and marigold flower malas and a gold necklace, with brass plates of offerings and a lamp on the truck bed. A man in a white polo shirt, jeans and a black face mask stands beside the truck at right, and several people in orange and colourful clothing stand further back on the roadside. Utility poles, houses and cloudy sky frame the scene.
