A bearded man in an orange-brown turban and rust-coloured robes sits on a decorated golden chariot-style float, wearing a multicolour flower garland with pink, yellow and white blossoms and smiling.

At left a man in a yellow-green patterned shirt sits near a blue-canopied vehicle draped with pink and white garlands. A woman in a rust-red sari with a rudraksha-style necklace stands at the left edge with arms folded. Coloured string lights glow in the background.
