A festival procession on a decorated carriage with a red and orange canopy umbrella. A man in a dark suit, white shirt and red tie wearing an orange headband stands at the front of the carriage, holding its rope rail, and smiles. Around him, devotees in white kurtas with orange shawls and orange headbands raise their arms and clap, and one takes a photo with a phone. Orange flags, a silver ceremonial staff, marigold garlands, and colourful balloons surround the carriage, with tasselled canopies on the right. Scattered confetti fills the blue sky.
