A festive procession on a gold-ornate ratha-style chariot draped with purple, yellow and pink flower garlands and colourful tassels. A seated man in a gold crown-like headdress, red-orange robes, layered bead and flower necklaces smiles broadly from a plush cushioned throne. Beside him, a bare-chested attendant in saffron-toned wrap holds a silver trident and stands near a golden bell-cluster. A woman in a maroon sari with a red bindi sits to the right, and a gold sun-disc ornament and gold bells hang along the chariot. Three people are visible.

A gilded ceremonial palanquin procession, with a golden ratha-style carriage decorated with multicoloured flower garlands in purple, yellow, orange and white, and hanging tassels in pink, green, blue and yellow. A seated central figure wears a gold crown, a red-and-gold garland, a gold necklace and an orange-red garment, and smiles while seated on a plush cushion beneath a canopy. A standing attendant in a rust-brown dhoti holds a silver trident, and another attendant in dark red sits beside the carriage. Gold bells, a golden finial and carved golden horse-head ornaments frame the scene. Three to five people are visible, and the setting is an outdoor procession route with a red wall behind.2015-02-17February 19 20152015-02-19February 17 20152015-02-17 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesFebruary 17 20152015-02-17 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesA photograph of a processional chariot with a golden canopy hung with multicoloured tassels and magenta and orange marigold garlands.
