A figure in an orange-saffron robe sits on a silver-covered throne-style seat on a decorated procession vehicle, holding a tall gold-tipped staff in the right hand and a gold object in the lap. A white-and-orange head cloth is wrapped on the head, and multiple garlands of red, orange and white flowers hang around the neck. Two red umbrellas with tasselled fringes shade the seat, and colourful balloons in blue, yellow, green, pink and white float around it. Orange flags and a silver-plated panel frame the scene under a clear blue sky, with people and balloons in the foreground. The seated figure is a visible candidate with a saffron robe, floral garlands and a gold staff, though the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity. A caption credits the image to the Nithyanandapedia archive.
