Outdoor procession scene on a decorated palanquin-style float under an orange canopy with a tassel-hung cupola. A long-haired figure with a red head wrap and a deep red-orange cloth stands at the rear, with long dark hair falling down the back. A bare-chested attendant in white dhoti and orange sash leans in beside them, and a bald man in saffron-red cloth crouches near the base. The float is heavily garlanded with orange marigolds, white jasmine strands and green leaf garlands, with bells and tassels hanging above. Onlookers crowd the street below, some holding up hands, and a cameraperson with a shoulder camera films the procession.
