Night procession photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne mounted on a decorated float. He wears a gold crown with a red and gold headpiece, a red-and-gold dhoti, and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces over a garland of white and green flowers. He smiles broadly, with a beard and a red tilak on his forehead. His hand rests on a silver trident, and two gold lion figures flank the throne, which has a leopard-print cushion. Behind him a canopy of red, green, blue and gold embroidery is draped with yellow marigold garlands and purple flowers, with a cluster of hanging white and purple blooms. Lanterns hang on the left side of the frame.
