A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate golden throne-chariot during a procession. He wears a dark maroon-brown cloth draped over his body, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, a rudraksha-style bead mala, and a tall gold crown with a jewelled centre, plus beaded bracelets on his arms. He has a red tilak on his forehead. The throne is gilded with carved lotus and peacock motifs, and its seat is covered in leopard-print cushions. Behind him, a red and gold parasol and a red-and-gold festive cloth hang over a tent. A person in white is partly visible at the left holding a red staff. Blue sky and trees frame the outdoor scene.
