Night procession photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver chariot-style palanquin decorated with multicolored tassel swags in red, yellow, green, blue and purple, gold leaves, and peacock-feather motifs at the top. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a pink and white flower garland, layered gold necklaces, and gold armlets, and holds a red-tipped ceremonial rod. Long dark hair is tied up, and he has a beard and a tilak on his forehead. Two attendants stand at the bottom edge, and a brass pot sits in front of the seat. Blurred spectators line the street behind.
