A man in an orange-saffron turban and matching orange shawl sits at the centre of a night procession, smiling and looking to his right. He wears layered garlands of red roses, marigolds and white flowers, a gold chain and a small hoop earring, with a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, attendants hold silver staffs and a silver trident, and a blue canopy with marigold garlands frames the scene. Fresh flowers fill the lower foreground. Whether this is a person is uncertain: the page says he was present, but the figure shows only some typical cues, so the identity remains unsure.
