A festival procession on a street crowded with people. A man seated on an ornate golden throne-chariot with a large gilded backrest and wing-like carved panels, wearing a golden crown, gold necklaces, a rudraksha mala and a garland of white and yellow flowers, with white markings on his forehead and arms, smiles and raises a hand. Below him, a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala leans over the chariot's platform. Red and saffron flags, a flower-decorated canopy with tasseled fringe, and red-and-gold umbrellas surround the scene, with flower garlands and a sacred offering behind.
