A photograph of a ceremonial procession at night. A seated figure rides a golden palanquin-style seat draped with garlands of yellow marigolds, white and red flowers, and purple blooms. The seated person wears an orange-saffron turban and orange-saffron robes with gold trim, and rests on a deep maroon velvet cushion. Behind them, a golden ornate pole and hanging orange tassels frame the scene. In the foreground at left, a bare-armed attendant in white dhoti raises a hand. Beside the seat, a man in white clothing with a green-thread sacred cord holds his palms together in namaskar and holds a white flower.
