Outdoor procession on a city road during a festival, with a golden ornate palanquin-style carriage in the foreground. A man with a rust-orange turban, orange robe, layered gold and beaded necklaces and bangles sits on the golden carriage over a leopard-print cushion beside a gilded lion figure. A drummer in orange robes plays a round frame drum, while another orange-clad figure holds a megaphone beside a framed picture. Behind, a figure in white dhoti holds a brass lamp, and devotees in orange and white stand near a red decorated cart with marigold garlands. Multicoloured umbrellas with tassels shade the procession, and a crowd of onlookers lines the barriers under trees and street stalls.
