A photograph of a procession float or chariot. A man in maroon and deep red garments, with a gold crown and a heavy gold necklace and bangles, sits on a red-cushioned throne and raises one hand in greeting while smiling. Behind him a large ornate gold backrest and gold umbrella canopy with fringes and tassels frame the scene, with garlands of white flowers and pink and turquoise tassels. Fresh red and yellow flowers sit in the foreground. White ash markings are visible on his forehead and arms. Appearance-based candidate: the page does not name him as present, and no printed name is visible, so identity is uncertain.
