Outdoor procession photo with a horse-drawn carriage decorated with white and pink balloons, marigold-style garlands and white floral trim. A figure seated in the carriage wears an orange robe and a crown-like headpiece with a tall gold trident-like staff beside him. Above him, an ornate multicoloured canopy umbrella with tasselled fringe and emblems is mounted on the carriage, alongside other similar canopies and tall saffron-orange flags. Men in dark suits with orange headbands stand at the carriage, and a man in an orange shawl and white clothes walks in front. On the right, an older man with grey hair wears white clothes and a pendant necklace, and a woman in an orange sari walks among devotees in white and orange shawls. Road, trees and bright blue sky form the setting.
