A photograph of a figure seated on a gilded throne-like seat atop an orange-and-white decorated cart, draped in marigold and jasmine garlands. The seated person wears a hot-pink garment, a gold necklace and a white-and-red garland, and holds a banana or fruit offering toward a black-and-white cow with a rope halter. Colourful embroidered panels with lotus and bird motifs frame the cart canopy, and a banana-leaf plant stands in the background. A woman in a blonde bob smiles at left among onlookers, and an orange-robed arm enters from the lower right. The cart appears to be part of a procession with a cow offering.
