A close profile photograph of a man in a rust-red turban on a gold-ornamented palanquin or ratha during a procession. The turban is wrapped in layered folds with gold finials on top. He wears a gold-embroidered garment and looks down with a slight smile. In the foreground, a gold ornamental pole top and a gilded carved frame are blurred, and green tassels and brown rudraksha-like beads hang at the left. Marigold garlands decorate the right edge, and the background is bright sky. The turban and gold finials are the main visible cues for this procession setting.

Orange and white marigold garlands hang around the frame, and colourful tassels in purple, red and green hang above him from a gold canopy. A figure in red and orange robes stands at the right edge, wearing beaded bracelets. The ornate golden carvings of the seat and an orange-and-white garlanded procession setting suggest a ceremonial procession. The appearance is consistent with a person figure seated in the palanquin, though identity is not certain from appearance alone.2016-04-18July 10 20162016-07-10
