A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with red cushions, set within a floral arch of red, purple, yellow and white flowers with striped white and purple fabric. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a red-and-pink flower garland, gold bangles, and has long dark hair. He rests his hands on the armrests and appears to be smiling. Around the raised platform, people stand waist-deep in water, several in white clothes, some in saffron and white, with a few holding cameras. A decorated deity murti stands at the lower left, adorned with white flower garlands. Orange and yellow marigolds and red flowers decorate the sides, and a palm-leaf motif is visible at the top. The setting appears to be a water-side festival procession with devotees gathered in the river.
