A man in a rust-red sleeveless garment with long dark hair and a tilak on his forehead sits on a decorated float, a large grey stone-like platform garlanded with bands of marigolds, yellow and white flowers and green leaves. Behind him stands a white carved seat. Two multicoloured fringed parasols with gold finials shade the float, and a steel staircase with railings leads up to it. A man in white ritual dress with orange cloth stands on the stairs below. The sky is pale grey.
