A photograph taken from behind a figure seated on an ornate golden palanquin decorated with white jasmine garlands, pink and teal tassels and marigold garlands. The seated person wears a rust-orange turban, orange-red robe and rudraksha-style beads, with a white flower garland. Orange marigold flowers lie on the red-draped seat, beside a mirror-framed tray and a tall silver trident-topped staff. In the background a large crowd fills a street lined with colourful stalls and banners, with uniformed police and security personnel standing among them, several raising hands. The scene reads as a procession with the palanquin carried through a crowd.
