A smiling man seated on a festival palanquin at night raises one hand in greeting. He wears a deep red turban, a red-orange robe with gold border, a bright pink and white flower garland, layered gold necklaces and gold armbands. Behind him stands a decorated golden parasol-like panel with a sun-faced deity murti motif, and a silver kalasha-style vessel with flower petals sits in the foreground. Tassels and white and pink flower strings hang overhead. Only the seated man is clearly visible among the people in the procession.

Behind him hangs a silver-and-gold canopy decorated with white jasmine garlands and tassels in pink, teal and orange, and a large round gold-embossed shield with a sun-like face and a red velvet backdrop.

He wears a red-orange turban, orange-red robes, a heavy gold necklace, a pink and white flower garland, gold armbands and a bangle on his wrist. Behind him stand ornate red and gold ceremonial fans or umbrellas with gold sun-faced motifs, and a gilded figure is visible on the left. The man matches the appearance-based cues of a person in a procession setting. A child appears near the right edge, and a small number of other attendants are partially visible.2015-09-15Night procession scene on a decorated ratha or chariot. A man seated on red cushions wears a rust-orange turban, orange-red robes, a red-and-white flower garland, and layered gold necklaces with large gold pendants. He smiles broadly with eyes closed, one arm raised outward and the other hand near his face. Behind him a large gold-and-red circular sun-face shield and a gold-tasselled canopy with white jasmine garlands are visible. A polished silver vessel sits in the foreground, and a smiling woman in white is partly visible at the right edge. The clothing and seated position suggest a sannyasi-style figure, but appearance alone is insufficient for a confident identification.2015-09-09 +1 copiesSeptember 13 20152015-09-13 +1 copiesSeptember 13 20152015-09-13 +1 copiesSeptember 09 20152015-09-09 +1 copiesSeptember 13 20152015-09-13 +2 copiesSeptember 13 20152015-09-13
