A seated figure in orange robes and an orange shawl with a marigold garland sits on a cushioned throne-like seat beneath an orange umbrella held by a standing attendant in orange clothing and an orange cap. The float is framed with green foliage and red and pink flowers. A man in a pink shirt and orange cap holds a red flag beside the float, a man in white shirt drives the tractor, and a woman in a pink sari with a red headscarf sits nearby. Bystanders in orange and white line the path, and orange flags and a white banner flutter at the right. The seated figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to identify, so only the role is described.2016-05-09
