A photograph of a golden palanquin procession. A figure seated on a crimson and gold cushioned seat under a fringed multicolour canopy hung with purple, yellow and white garlands raises one hand in greeting; he wears an ornate gold crown, a gold necklace and a pink floral garland. Beside the chariot a shaved-headed priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and a silver trident-topped staff walks alongside, with white tilak marks on his body. Ornate golden poles and garlands frame the scene, and a few blurred heads are in the foreground.
