Outdoor procession photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded golden throne mounted on a decorated cart, with a golden hooded cobra-style canopy and carved scrollwork. The central seated man wears a gold crown, a rust-brown robe, layered gold necklaces and a leopard-print cloth over the seat, and he presses his palms together in greeting while smiling. Behind him a bald attendant in white and yellow clothing holds a white fly-whisk, and a red-and-gold umbrella and red poles frame the scene. A round sun-motif fan with a painted face stands at left. Men in plain clothes and orange shirts crowd the foreground, with a tall metal pole in the foreground.
