Outdoor procession on a city street under a bright sky. A smiling figure in a rust-red turban and brown-saffron robe sits on an ornate ceremonial palanquin, wearing gold necklaces, a dense rudraksha-style brown bead mala, bangles and a flower garland of orange marigolds and pink blooms. A man in white dhoti and white shawl with beaded mala stands at left holding a tall gold-topped pole, and another man in white with glasses holds a silver ceremonial staff at right. Overhead hang red, green and purple tassels, gold bells and marigold garlands on the canopy. A red and green banner reads GIONEE in the background, with pennants strung across the street.
