A seated man rides a decorated silver palanquin or float during a festival procession, holding a gold trident (trishul) aloft in his right hand. He wears a white turban with gold trim, an orange saffron robe, and long garlands of white and red-and-yellow flowers, with a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace visible. Behind him are a fringed canopy in red, pink, orange and teal, and a cluster of colourful balloons in yellow, green, white, pink and heart shapes. In the foreground, a man in a dark suit with a red tilak mark and another partially visible man in dark clothing look on. The scene suggests a street procession with a vehicle in the background.

A man seated on a silver throne-like seat wears an orange saffron garment, a white head cloth with a gold band, a red and white flower garland and gold bracelets, and holds a gold trident (trishul) in his right hand. He is smiling and appears to be a central honoured figure; the person's appearance has several cues (saffron clothing, trident, garland) but the page does not indicate his presence, so identity is uncertain. Yellow, green, white, pink and blue balloons surround him, and a red, blue and gold canopy with tassels stands to the left. Dark-suited men and a crowd of onlookers stand around the chariot, with rows of decorated stalls behind.2008-12-29A man in a procession vehicle wears an orange saffron robe, a white turban with gold trim, and a long garland of red beads and white flowers with yellow and green accents.
