A festival procession with a seated figure on an ornate golden throne-palanquin. The central seated man wears an orange-red turban, orange robes and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, raising his hand in blessing. Attendants in white dhotis with gold borders and orange-clad devotees surround the throne; one attendant holds a long staff topped with a white yak-tail fly whisk. A multicoloured fringed umbrella with tassels shelters the throne, and a red banner flutters at left. A camera operator in white dhoti and garland stands at left. Several people in orange and white stand or sit nearby under bare trees, with some onlookers and police in khaki uniforms in the foreground.
