A man sits on its back holding a framed portrait of a figure in orange robes, and a red and gold umbrella with tassels is raised above him. A saffron-robed man in orange dhoti stands at the elephant's head, reaching up to touch its trunk and face, which is painted with white and pink lotus and floral patterns. A man in white dhoti and shirt walks beside, and a bystander in a striped shirt stands at right. Behind, a metal truss bridge, a large orange banner and other people are visible.
