A photograph of a decorated ratha or chariot procession float draped with orange, white and yellow marigold and jasmine garlands, with purple and pink fabric hangings and small string lights around its edges. A bearded man in a brown robe and an orange-red turban with ornate gold ornaments sits smiling on an ornate silver throne with red cushions, a green-and-gold garland around his neck. Beside him stands a tall garland of yellow, purple and white flowers. Behind the float, the surroundings are dark. Only the seated man is clearly a physical person, and his appearance is not sufficient to confirm identity from the cues alone.
