A photograph of a procession on a palanquin-like carriage with an ornate silver-embossed panel and a red canopy trimmed with tassels. A man in saffron-orange robes wears a red headband, a red tilak on his forehead, a long necklace of gold beads, and a white and green flower garland with marigold garlands draped over the carriage. A trident-shaped ceremonial staff with a golden finial rests in front of him, and a person in a dark jacket and an orange cloth on the left edge is partly visible. Trees and a blue sky appear behind. The man has long, swept-back hair and is the only person prominently seated in the carriage; his appearance is consistent with a ceremonial presentation, though his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
