A person in an orange-saffron robe with a cream-and-gold turban sits on a silver ornate throne on a float, under a red umbrella with tasselled edges. A long garland of white flowers with red and yellow beads drapes the shoulders, and a golden staff with a carved top is held upright. Colourful heart-shaped and round balloons tie to the throne and float into a clear blue sky, with a cluster of multicoloured heart balloons released higher up. The page indicates no a person presence at this event, so no identification is made from appearance.
