A procession float carries a figure seated on a silver-trimmed throne beneath a red canopy decorated with tassels and heart-shaped pink balloons. The seated figure wears orange saffron robes, a white turban-like head covering, and a long garland of red and white flowers, holding a tall golden trident upright while raising one hand in greeting. Multicoloured balloons in blue, yellow, green and orange surround the float against a clear blue sky. A man in a dark jacket sits in the foreground at right, and another figure in red garments is partly visible at the far right edge. Ornate silver panels frame the float.
